Chapter 10.2, Problem 12P
For Problems 5–16, please provide the following information.
- (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses.
- (b) Find the value of the chi-square statistic for the sample. Are all the expected frequencies greater than 5? What sampling distribution will you use? What are the degrees of freedom?
- (c) Find or estimate the P-value of the sample test statistic.
- (d) 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?
- (e) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.
Library: Book Circulation The director of library services at Fairmont College did a survey of types of books (by subject) in the circulation library. Then she used library records to take a random sample of 888 books checked out last term and classified the books in the sample by subject. The results are shown next.
Using a 5% level of significance, test the claim that the subject distribution of books in the library fits the distribution of books checked out by students.

- please solve this problem step by step and make it quick pleasearrow_forwardWHAT IS THE CORRECT ANSWER AND WHY?arrow_forwardA common way for two people to settle a frivolous dispute is to play a game of rock-paper-scissors. In this game, each person simultaneously displays a hand signal to indicate a rock, a piece of paper, or a pair of scissors. Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, and paper beats rock. If both players select the same hand signal, the game results in a tie. Two roommates, roommate A and roommate B, are expecting company and are arguing over who should have to wash the dishes before the company arrives. Roommate A suggests a game of rock-paper-scissors to settle the dispute. Consider the game of rock-paper-scissors to be an experiment. In the long run, roommate A chooses rock 21% of the time, and roommate B chooses rock 61% of the time; roommate A selects paper 39% of the time, and roommate B selects paper 21% of the time; roommate A chooses scissors 40% of the time, and roommate B chooses scissors 18% of the time.
