Tests
a. In Chapter 8, you learned some tests of proportions. Are tests of proportions used for categorical or numerical data?
b. In this chapter, you are learning to use chi-square tests. Do these tests apply to categorical or numerical data?
a .

Determine whether the tests of proportions are used for the categorical or the numerical data.
Answer to Problem 1SE
The tests of proportion are used for the categorical data.
Explanation of Solution
The categorical data is the data which describes the qualities of the objects under consideration, whereas the numerical data is the measure of the data.
The test of proportion is used to test whether the population proportion is significantly equal to hypothesized value or not. It is based on the proportion of the responses of the population. For observing the response, the population is divided into two categories.
Therefore, the test of proportion is used for the categorical data.
b .

Determine whether the chi-square test is applied to the categorical or the numerical data.
Answer to Problem 1SE
The chi-square test is used for the categorical data.
Explanation of Solution
The chi-square test can be used for checking the association between categorical variables. The test can be used to decide whether the effect of one categorical data is dependent on the other variable or not. It is not used for the numerical data.
Therefore, the chi-square test is used for the categorical data.

- BUSINESS DISCUSSarrow_forwardA researcher wishes to estimate, with 90% confidence, the population proportion of adults who support labeling legislation for genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Her estimate must be accurate within 4% of the true proportion. (a) No preliminary estimate is available. Find the minimum sample size needed. (b) Find the minimum sample size needed, using a prior study that found that 65% of the respondents said they support labeling legislation for GMOs. (c) Compare the results from parts (a) and (b). ... (a) What is the minimum sample size needed assuming that no prior information is available? n = (Round up to the nearest whole number as needed.)arrow_forwardThe table available below shows the costs per mile (in cents) for a sample of automobiles. At a = 0.05, can you conclude that at least one mean cost per mile is different from the others? Click on the icon to view the data table. Let Hss, HMS, HLS, Hsuv and Hмy represent the mean costs per mile for small sedans, medium sedans, large sedans, SUV 4WDs, and minivans respectively. What are the hypotheses for this test? OA.
