Question

Professor takes a random sample of students enrolled in Statistics 301 at Earth University where students are in one of four terms of their degrees.
He finds the following: there are 25 first term students in the sample, 32 second term students, 18 third term students and 20 final term students.

Professor decides to help you and use the R program to carry out this test.

The code and output are as follows: 
null.probs = c(0.3,0.2,0.3,0.2)
freqs = c(25, 32, 18, 20)
chisq.test(freqs, p=null.probs)
barplot(freqs, main="Distribution of Stat 101 Students", horiz=FALSE, xlab="Term", names.arg= c("First", "Second", "Third", "Fourth"), col="blue")

Chi-squared test for given probabilities

data: freqs
X-squared = 13.24561, df = 3, p-value = 0.004134

Use the output to test the appropriate hypothesis.

 

1. The appropriate null hypothesis is …(use 2 decimal places,  2 dp)
 H0: pi1 = 0.30,

pi2

pi3

pi4

2. What is the value of the test statistic?(2 dp) 

3. How many students were enrolled in Term 1?  (integer)
