A survey was conducted to determine whether hours of sleep per night are independent of age. A sample ofindividuals was asked to indicate the number of hours of sleep per night with categorical options: fewer than 6hours, 6 to 6.9 hours, 7 to 7.9 hours, and 8 hours or more.

Question

A survey was conducted to determine whether hours of sleep per night are independent of age. A sample of
individuals was asked to indicate the number of hours of sleep per night with categorical options: fewer than 6
hours, 6 to 6.9 hours, 7 to 7.9 hours, and 8 hours or more. Later in the survey, the individuals were asked to
indicate their age with categorical options: age 39 or younger and age 40 or older. Sample data follow.

(a) Conduct a test of independence to determine whether hours of sleep are independent of age.
(b) what is your estimate of the percentages of individuals who sleep fewer than 6 hours, 6 to 6.9 hours, 7
to 7.9 hours, and 8 hours or more per night?

Now that we have the observed and expected frequencies, the other components for the test statistic can be
found. The following table gives the given observed data and the calculated expected frequencies. The sum of
all the values in the final column will be the x test statistic.
Complete the table, rounding values in the final column to four decimal places and x" to three decimal places.

Expert Solution

Step 1 Part a

The computation is done as follow:

Hours of sleep	Age group	Observed frequencies (O_ij)	Expected frequencies (E_ij)	E_ij-O_ij	${(E i j - O i j)}^{2}$	$\frac{{(E i j - O i j)}^{2}}{E_{i j}}$
Fewer than 6	39 or younger	37	34.56	2.44	5.9536	0.172269
6 to 6.9	39 or younger	60	56.16	3.84	14.7456	0.262564
7 to 7.9	39 or younger	78	73.92	4.08	16.6464	0.225195
8 or more	39 or younger	65	75.36	-10.36	107.3296	1.424225
Fewer than 6	40 or older	35	37.44	-2.44	5.9536	0.159017
6 to 6.9	40 or older	57	60.84	-3.84	14.7456	0.242367
7 to 7.9	40 or older	76	80.08	-4.08	16.6464	0.207872
8 or more	40 or older	92	81.64	10.36	107.3296	1.314669
