Textbook Question
Chapter 10.2, Problem 6P
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.
Census: Type of Household The type of household for the U.S. population and for a random sample of 411 households from the community of Dove Creek, Montana, are shown (based on Statistical Abstract of the United States).
Use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that the distribution of U.S. households fits the Dove Creek distribution.
