In Exercises 1−4. (a) identify the claim and state H0 and Ha, (b) find the critical value and identify the rejection region, (c) find the chi-square test statistic, (d) decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis, and (e) interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.
2. A researcher claims that the distribution of the amounts that parents give for an allowance is different from the distribution shown in the pie chart. You randomly select 1103 parents and ask them how much they give for an allowance. The table shows the results. At α = 0.10, test the researcher’s claim. (Adapted from Echo Research)

To identify: The claim.
To state: The hypothesis
Answer to Problem 10.1.1RE
The claim is that, the distribution of amounts differs from the expected distribution.
The hypothesis
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
The data shows the results of the distribution of the amounts that parent give for allowance.
Calculation:
Here, the distribution of amounts differs from the expected distribution is tested. Hence, the claim is that the distribution of amounts differs from the expected distribution.
The hypotheses are given below:
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
b.

To obtain: The critical value.
To identify: The rejection region.
Answer to Problem 10.1.1RE
The critical value is 6.251.
The rejection region is
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
The level of significance is 0.10.
Calculation:
Critical value:
The critical value is calculated by using the
Substitute k as 4 in degrees of freedom.
From the Table 6-Chi-Square Distribution, the critical value for 3 degrees of freedom for
Rejection region:
The null hypothesis would be rejected if
Thus, the rejection region is
c.

To obtain: The chi-square test statistic.
Answer to Problem 10.1.1RE
The chi-square test statistic is 4.886.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Step by step procedure to obtain chi-square test statistic using the MINITAB software:
- Choose Stat > Tables > Chi-Square Goodness-of-Fit Test (One Variable).
- In Observed counts, enter the column of Frequency.
- In Category names, enter the column of Response.
- Under Test, select the column of Proportions in Proportions specified by historical counts.
- Click OK.
Output using the MINITAB software is given below:
Thus, the chi-square test statistic value is approximately 4.886.
d.
![Check Mark](/static/check-mark.png)
To check: Whether the null hypothesis is rejected or fails to reject.
Answer to Problem 10.1.1RE
The null hypothesis is fails to reject.
Explanation of Solution
Conclusion:
From the result of (c), the test-statistic value is 4.886.
Here, the chi-square test statistic value is lesser than the critical value.
That is,
Thus, it can be conclude that the null hypothesis fails to reject.
e.
![Check Mark](/static/check-mark.png)
To interpret: The decision in the context of the original claim.
Answer to Problem 10.1.1RE
The conclusion is that, there is no evidence to support the claim that the distribution of amounts differs from the expected distribution.
Explanation of Solution
Interpretation:
From the results of part (d), it can be conclude that there is no evidence to support the claim that the distribution of amounts differs from the expected distribution.
