Answer to Problem 37CR

There is convincing evidence that the response proportions are not all the same for all five countries.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The given data represent classifications of different countries for the response to the question of torture against suspected terrorists to obtain information about the terrorism activities.

The steps in chi-square test for homogeneity are as follows:

Null and alternative Hypotheses:

Null hypothesis:

H0: The proportions falling into the response categories for all five countries are all the same.

Alternative hypothesis:

Ha: The proportions falling into the response categories for all five countries are not the same.

Level of significance:

α=0.01

Assumptions:

  • It is given that the samples are random samples.
  • The expected cell counts are calculated as shown below:

Country I1,000×2,0005,000=4001,000×1,1005,000=2221,000×1,2205,000=2441,000×4505,000=901,000×2205,000=441,000
Country S1,000×2,0005,000=4001,000×1,1005,000=2221,000×1,2205,000=2441,000×4505,000=901,000×2205,000=441,000
Country F1,000×2,0005,000=4001,000×1,1005,000=2221,000×1,2205,000=2441,000×4505,000=901,000×2205,000=441,000
Country U1,000×2,0005,000=4001,000×1,1005,000=2221,000×1,2205,000=2441,000×4505,000=901,000×2205,000=441,000
Country SK1,000×2,0005,000=4001,000×1,1005,000=2221,000×1,2205,000=2441,000×4505,000=901,000×2205,000=441,000
Total2,0001,1101,2204502205,000

From the expected cell counts table, it is observed that all the expected counts are greater than 5.

Test Statistic:

χ2=(observed countexpected count)expected count2

Software procedure:

Step-by-step procedure to obtain the test statistic and P-value using the MINITAB software:

  • Choose Stat > Tables > Cross Tabulation and Chi-Square.
  • Select Summarized data in two-way table.
  • In Columns containing the table, enter the columns of Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Often, and Not Sure.
  • Check Chi-square test under Chi-square.
  • Click OK.

Output using the MINITAB software is given below:

Introduction to Statistics and Data Analysis, Chapter 12, Problem 37CR

From the output, χ2=881.360 and df=16.

P-value:

From the MINITAB output, P-value is 0.000.

Decision rule:

  • If P-value is less than or equal to the level of significance, reject the null hypothesis.
  • Otherwise, fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Conclusion:

Here the level of significance is 0.01.

Here, P-value is less than the level of significance.

That is, 0.000<0.01.

Hence, reject the null hypothesis.

Therefore, there is convincing evidence that the response proportions are not the same for all the five countries at 0.01 significance level.
