For Problems 9-19. 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 of independence?
(e) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.
Use the
Archaeology: Pottery The following table shows ceremonial ranking and type of pottery sherd for a random sample of 434 sherds at a location in the Sand Canyon Archaeological Project, Colorado (The Architecture of Social Integration in Prehistoric Pueblos, edited by Lipe and Hegmon).
Ceremonial Ranking |
Cooking Jar Sherds | Decorated Jar Sherds (Noncooking) | Row Total |
A | 86 | 49 | 135 |
B | 92 | 53 | 145 |
C | 79 | 75 | 154 |
Column Total | 257 | 177 | 434 |
Use a chi-square lest to determine if ceremonial ranking and pottery type are independent at the 0.05 level of significance.

The company defines a "high-sales day" that is, any day with sales exceeding $4800. please provide a step by step on how to get the answers in excel Q: What percentage of days can the company expect to have "high-sales days" or sales greater than $4800?

- A retail store manager claims that the average daily sales of the store are $1,500. You aim to test whether the actual average daily sales differ significantly from this claimed value. You can provide your answer by inserting a text box and the answer must include: Null hypothesis, Alternative hypothesis, Show answer (output table/summary table), and Conclusion based on the P value. Showing the calculation is a must.
