Question

The data below show sport preference and age of participant from a random sample of members of a sports club. Is there evidence to suggest that they are related?

Frequencies of Sport Preference and Age

  Tennis Swimming Basketball
18-25 74 100 98
26-30 99 96 82
31-40 67 74 75
Over 40 85 59 64

 What can be concluded at the αα = 0.05 significance level?

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



    H1:H1: 
    • The age distribution is not the same for each sport.
    • Age and sport preference are dependent.
    • The age distribution is the same for each sport.
    • Age and sport preference are independent.
  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 Select an answer less than (or equal to) greater than  αα 

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