They installed a new system for receiving payments, and they wonder if these percentages still hold true. They plan to take a random sample of customers in order to perform a \chi^2χ2\chi, squared goodness-of-fit test on the results. What is the smallest sample size the company can take to pass the large counts condition?

Mabel runs a website, and she wonders how people navigate to her website. She suspects that 50% of visitors arrive from a web search, 25% arrive from links on social media, and 25% arrive directly by entering the website's address. She plans to take a random sample of visitors and record how they navigated to the site in order to perform a \chi^2χ2\chi, squared goodness-of-fit test on the results. What is the smallest sample size Mabel can take to pass the large counts condition?

Patrick is a health researcher. He wonders if emergency room visits are evenly distributed across the days of the week. He plans to take a random sample of recent visits in order to carry out a \chi^2χ2\chi, squared goodness-of-fit test on the results. What is the smallest sample size Patrick can take to pass the large counts condition?

Miriam wants to test if her 10 -sided die is fair. In other words, she wants to test if some sides get rolled more often than others. She plans on recording how often each side appears in a series of rolls and carrying out a \chi^2χ2\chi, squared goodness-of-fit test on the results. What is the smallest sample size Miriam can take to pass the large counts condition?

Peter bought a big pack of 360 party balloons. The balloons come in 6 different colors which are supposed to be distributed evenly in the pack. Peter wants to test whether the distribution is indeed even, but he doesn't want to go over the entire pack. So, he plans to take a sample and carry out a \chi^2χ2\chi, squared goodness-of-fit test on the resulting data. Which of these are conditions for carrying out this test?

He takes a random sample of balloons. He expects each color to appear at least 5 times. He samples 36 balloons at most.

Maura's teacher gives multiple choice tests where each question has 4 choices: A, B, C, and D. Maura wonders if some of these choices appear as correct answers more often than others. She plans on taking a sample of her teacher's test questions and tallying how many times each option appears as a correct answer. She wants to carry out a \chi^2χ2\chi, squared goodness-of-fit test on the resulting data. Which of these are conditions for carrying out this test? Choose 2 answers:

She takes a random sample of her teacher's test questions. She expects each option to be used as a correct answer at least 5 times.

Whitney's town has 10,000 residents and three neighborhoods. These are the percentages of each neighborhood's area relative to the town's total area: Whitney wants to test if the distribution of the neighborhoods' populations matches the distribution of the neighborhoods' areas. She plans to ask a sample of residents what neighborhood they live in. She'll carry out a \chi^2χ2\chi, squared goodness-of-fit test on the resulting data. Which of these are conditions for carrying out this test?

She takes a random sample of residents. She expects each neighborhood to appear at least 555 times. She samples 1000 residents at most.

Pauline sits near the snacks in the office. There are 5 flavors of chocolate, and she wonders if some flavors get chosen more than others. She plans to record how often each flavor gets chosen in a sample of selections to carry out a \chi^2χ2\chi, squared goodness-of-fit test on the resulting data. Which of these are conditions for carrying out this test?

She takes a random sample of selections. She expects each snack to be selected at least 555 times.

Andre read a report saying that 35% of people in his country approved of the job their current Prime Minister was doing, 35% disapproved, and 30% neither approved or disapproved. He wondered if these percentages held true in his city, so he obtained a random sample of 16 responses from people in his city. Here are the results: Andre wanted to use these results to carry out a \chi^2χ2\chi, squared goodness-of-fit test to determine if the sample disagreed with the reported distribution. Which count(s) make this sample fail the large counts condition for this test?

The expected count of people who neither approve nor disapprove of the Prime Minister's job.
