Which of the following is NOT true of the x² test statistic? a) A small x²test statistic leads us to conclude that there may not a good fit with the assumed distribution in a goodness-of-fit test. b) The x²test statistic is based on differences between the observed and expected counts. c) The smallx'test statistic leads us to conclude that the row and column variables may be independent in a test of independence. d) If the observed and expected frequency counts are not close, the x²test statistic will be large in a goodness-of-fit test.

Suppose we are interested in the relationship between individuals’ place of residence (rural versus urban) and their political affiliation (Republican versus Democrat). A random sample of 100 individuals yields the following crosstabulation: Political Affiliation Place of Residence Republican Democrat Rural 21 29 Urban 14 36 a) In words, what is the null hypothesis to be tested? b) Is the relationship between place of residence and political affiliation statistically significant at the .05 level? (Be sure to show the statistics that lead to your decision.) c) Compute and interpret an appropriate measure of association for the relationship between these two variables.
Researchers conducted an experiment to compare twotreatments for high blood pressure. Their null hypothesis was that the proportion of people whose blood pres-sure would improve is the same for both treatments. The two-sided test resulted in a P-value of 0.07. Which of thefollowing statements is true?A) There is a 7% chance that the drugs are equallyeffective.B) There is a 7% chance the drugs are not equallyeffective.C) The null hypothesis should be rejected at the0.05 level.D) 0 would be contained in the 95% confidence intervalfor the difference in proportions.E) 0 would be contained in the 90% confidence intervalfor the difference in proportions.
Ten engineering schools in a country were surveyed. The sample contained 225electrical engineers, 80 being women; 175 chemical engineers, 40 being women. Compute a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of women in these two fields of engineering. Is there a significant difference between the two proportions? Let p1 be the population proportion of electrical engineers that are women in the schools that were surveyed and let p2 be the population proportion of chemical engineers that are women in the schools that were surveyed. The 90% confidence interval is nothing<p1−p2<nothing. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
You wish to test the following claim (Ha) at a significance level of a 0.10. H.:p = 0.85 Ha:p < 0.85 You obtain a sample of size n = 324 in which there are 269 successful observations. For this test, you should NOT use the continuity correction, and you should use the normal distribution as an approximation for the binomial distribution. What is the critical value for this test? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.) critical value = %3D What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.) test statistic =

When dragons on planet Pern lay eggs, the eggs are either green or yellow. The biologists have observed over the years that 34% of the eggs are yellow, and the rest green. Next spring the lead scientist has permission to randomly select 51 of the dragon eggs to incubate. Consider all the possible samples of 51 dragon eggs.What is the mean number of yellow eggs in samples of 51 eggs? (that is the same as asking for the expected value of the number of yellow eggs)(Give answer correct to at least one decimal place.)mean = What is the standard deviation in the number of yellow eggs in samples of size 51?(Give answer correct to at least one decimal place.)standard deviation = What is the variance in the number of yellow eggs in samples of size 51?(Remember to calculate the answer using at least 5 decimal places, then give answer correct to at least one decimal place.)variance =
