Textbook Question
Chapter 11.2, Problem 6P
For Problems 5-14, 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)-(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 StatisticalAbstract of the United States).
| Type of Household | Percent of U.S. Households |
Observed Number of Households in Dove Creek |
| Married with children | 26% | 102 |
| Married, no children | 29% | 112 |
| Single parent | 9% | 33 |
| One person | 25% | 96 |
| Other (e g., roommates, siblings) | 11% | 68 |
Use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that the distribution of U.S. households fits the Dove Creek distribution.
