Spectators are interested to know if the ages of gymnasts competing in the Canada Games are uniformly distributed. To investigate this hypothesis, we will consider the female gymnasts and male gymnasts who competed in the 2015 Team Competition as a sample of all Canada Games gymnasts. Female Gymnasts Age Male Gymnasts Age 15 17 16 12 17 17 14 15 16 16 15 16 17 12 14 14 16 17 18 13 13 18 14 14 16 18 14 19 11 17 17 17 14 17 14 14 14 18 12 17 16 18 16 17 14 18 14 17 16 18 16 18 18 15 16 14 13 16 16 18 16 14 17 16 16 16 17 18 17 17 18 14 13 11 16 18 12 17 11 17 18 16 16 14 13 14 15 13 15 13 17 14 15 11 14 13 17 18 18 18 14 13 14 18 15 16 14 15 14 14 11 13 13 14 16 16 13 15 14 a) Construct a single histogram of the ages of all male and female gymnasts. What do you notice about the distribution of ages? Provide a possible explanation for what you observe. b) Should we reject or not reject the claim that the distribution of gymnasts’ ages is uniform at the 5% significance level? (Hint: Apply the ?2 test of goodness of fit.) Remember to state the hypothesis, state the formula, and show all steps in calculations. (Hint: Don't forget the ?2 critcal value.)
