Question

The types of browse favored by deer are shown in the following table. Using binoculars, volunteers observed the feeding habits of a random sample of 320 deer.

Type of Browse	Plant Composition in Study Area	Observed Number of Deer Feeding on This Plant
Sage brush	32%	99
Rabbit brush	38.7%	124
Salt brush	12%	40
Service berry	9.3%	31
Other	8%	26

Use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that the natural distribution of browse fits the deer feeding pattern.State the null and alternate hypotheses.

H₀: The distributions are different.
H₁: The distributions are different.H₀: The distributions are the same.
H₁: The distributions are the same. H₀: The distributions are the same.
H₁: The distributions are different.H₀: The distributions are different.
H₁: The distributions are the same.

(b) Find the value of the chi-square statistic for the sample. (Round the expected frequencies to at least three decimal places. Round the test statistic to three decimal places.)

Are all the expected frequencies greater than 5?

Yes No

What sampling distribution will you use?

uniformchi-square binomialStudent's tnormal

What are the degrees of freedom?

(b) Estimate the P-value of the sample test statistic.

P-value > 0.1000.050 < P-value < 0.100 0.025 < P-value < 0.0500.010 < P-value < 0.0250.005 < P-value < 0.010P-value < 0.005

(c) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis that the population fits the specified distribution of categories?

Since the P-value > ?, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.Since the P-value > ?, we reject the null hypothesis. Since the P-value ≤ ?, we reject the null hypothesis.Since the P-value ≤ ?, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

(d) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.

At the 5% level of significance, the evidence is sufficient to conclude that the natural distribution of browse does not fit the feeding pattern.At the 5% level of significance, the evidence is insufficient to conclude that the natural distribution of browse does not fit the feeding pattern.
