Textbook Question
Chapter 10.2, Problem 8P
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.
Ecology: Deer The types of browse favored by deer are shown in the following table (The Mule Deer of Mesa Verde National Park, edited by Mierau and Schmidt). Using binoculars, volunteers observed the feeding habits of a random sample of 320 deer.
Use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that the natural distribution of browse fits the deer feeding pattern.

Questions 6–10 refer to the sample data in the following table, which describes the fate of the passengers and crew aboard the Titanic when it sank on April 15, 1912. Assume that the data are a sample from a large population and we want to use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that surviving is independent of whether the person is a man, woman, boy, or girl.
Is the hypothesis test left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed?

If the researcher wants to do a z-test of one population mean, what will the researcher's alternative hypothesis be?arrow_forwardIn the previous problem we worked with the pattern of values that a statistic like the sample proportion takes when we sample repeatedly from the same population. The name of this pattern is: The scale of measurement of the statistic. The sampling error of the statistic. The bias of the statistic. The variability of the statistic. The sampling distribution of the statistic. Is "The variability of the statistic." answer correct?
