Question

 Is there an association between hair color and body type? The table below shows the results of a researcher's observations of randomly selected people.

Frequencies of Hair Colors for Various Body Types

  Blonde Brunette Red Head
Short and Slender 88 97 48
Short and Pudgy 88 102 60
Tall and Slender 53 91 69
Tall and Heavy 58 119 76

 What can be concluded at the αα = 0.01 significance level?

  1. What is the correct statistical test to use?
    • Independence
    • Homogeneity
    • Goodness-of-Fit
    • Paired t-test
  2. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?
    H0:H0: 
    • The distribution of hair color is not the same for each body type.
    • Hair color and body type are dependent.
    • The distribution of hair color is the same for each body type.
    • Hair color and body type are independent.



    H1:H1: 
    • The distribution of hair color is not the same for each body type.
    • Hair color and body type are independent.
    • The distribution of hair color is the same for each body type.
    • Hair color and body type are dependent.
  3. The test-statistic for this data =  (Please show your answer to three decimal places.)

  4. The p-value for this sample = (Please show your answer to four decimal places.) 
  5. The p-value is 

  6. Based on this, we should
    • fail to reject the null
    • reject the null
    • accept the null
  7. Thus, the final conclusion is...
    • There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the distribution of hair color is not the same for each body type.
    • There is sufficient evidence to conclude that hair color and body type are dependent.
    • There is sufficient evidence to conclude that hair color and body type are independent.
    • There is insufficient evidence to conclude that hair color and body type are dependent.
    • There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the distribution of hair color is not the same for each body type.
