(Fail to reject) the null hypothesis that​ home/visitor wins are independent of the sport. It appears that the​ home-field advantage (does not) depend on the sport.

A random sample of 784 subjects was asked to identify the day of the week that is best for quality family time. Consider the claim that the days of the week are selected with a uniform distribution so that all days have the same chance of being selected. The table below shows​ goodness-of-fit test results from the claim and data from the study. Test that claim. Num Categories -----> 7 Test​ statistic, χ^2 -----> 12.411 Degrees of freedom -----> 6 Critical χ^2 -----> 12.592 Expected Freq -----> 112.0000 ​P-Value -----> 0.0534 A. Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. B. Identify the test statistic. C. Identify the critical value. D. State Conclusion

A. H0​: All days of the week have an equal chance of being selected. H1​: At least one day of the week has a different chance of being selected. B. χ2 = 12.411 C. χ2= 12.592 D. (Fail to reject)H0. There (is not) sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the days of the week are selected with a uniform distribution. It (does appear) that all days have the same chance of being selected.

The accompanying table summarizes successes and failures when subjects used different methods when trying to stop smoking. The determination of smoking or not smoking was made five months after the treatment was begun. If we test the claim that success is independent of the method​ used, the technology provides a​ P-value of 0.003(rounded). What does the​ P-value tell us about that​ claim? ..............Nicotine Gum.....Nicotine Patch.....Nicotine Inhaler Smoking........185...................275.................... 97............ Not Smoking....56.....................58.................... 44...........

ANSWERS ARE IN BRACKETS: Because the​ P-value of 0.003 [is] small​ (such as 0.05 or​ lower), [reject] the null hypothesis of independence between the treatment and whether the subject stops smoking. This suggests that the choice of treatment [appears to make a difference].

The table below lists days of the week selected by a random sample of 1007 subjects who were asked to identify the day of the week that is best for quality family time. Consider the claim that the days of the week are selected with a uniform distribution so that all days have the same chance of being selected. If we test the claim using the​ goodness-of-fit test, what is actually​ tested? Sun 529 Mon 19 Tues 9 Wed 21 Thurs 12 Fri 44 Sat 373 Choose the correct answer below. A. The test is to determine whether the observed frequency counts agree with the claimed​ chi-square distribution so that the frequencies for at most three days are equally likely. B. The test is to determine whether the observed frequency counts agree with the claimed uniform distribution so that the frequencies for the different days are equally likely. C. The test is to determine whether the observed frequency counts agree with the claimed uniform distribution so that the frequencies for at least two days are equally likely. D. The test is to determine whether the observed frequency counts agree with the claimed uniform distribution so that the frequencies for only two days are equally likely.

B. The test is to determine whether the observed frequency counts agree with the claimed uniform distribution so that the frequencies for the different days are equally likely.

For a recent​ year, the following are the numbers of homicides that occurred each month in a city. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that homicides in a city are equally likely for each of the 12 months.

Many people believe that criminals who plead guilty tend to get lighter sentences than those who are convicted in trials. The accompanying table summarizes randomly selected sample data for defendants in burglary cases. All of the subjects had prior prison sentences. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the sentence​ (sent to prison or not sent to​ prison) is independent of the plea. If you were an attorney defending a guilty​ defendant, would these results suggest that you should encourage a guilty​ plea? ___________________________________________ ...............................Guilty Plea.........Not Guilty Plea Sent to Prison................373.....................59............

Conduct the hypothesis test and provide the test​ statistic, critical value and​ P-value, and state the conclusion. A person drilled a hole in a die and filled it with a lead​ weight, then proceeded to roll it 200 times. Here are the observed frequencies for the outcomes of​ 1, 2,​ 3, 4,​ 5, and​ 6, respectively: 25​, 29, 42​, 38​, 27​, 39. Use a 0.025 significance level to test the claim that the outcomes are not equally likely. Does it appear that the loaded die behaves differently than a fair​ die? The test statistic is..? The critical value is..? The P-value is...?

H0: p0+p1+p2+p3+p4+p5 H1: At least one p does not match the claimed value The test statistic is..? O*= Observed E* = Expected n = ∑O = 200 (make this chart↓↓) Expected fraction(p) - O* - E*=np - (O-E)²/E 1/6 25 33.333 2.083 1/6 29 33.333 0.563 1/6 42 33.333 2.253 1/6 38 33.333 0.653 1/6 27 33.333 1.203 1/6 39 33.333 0.963 χ²= ∑((O-E)^2/E) = 7.718 The critical value is..? (use the Chi-squared distribution table) match 6-1 = 5 degrees of freedom with α=0.025 critical value = 12.833 The P-value is... if you don't have StatCrunch, use http://www.socscistatistics.com/pvalues/chidistribution.aspx and input The Test Statistic and the Degrees of freedom and α=0.05 to find... P-value = 0.1725 State the conclusion. (Do not reject) H0. There (is not) sufficient evidence to support the claim that the outcomes are not equally likely. The outcomes (appear) to be equally​ likely, so the loaded die (does not appear) to behave differently from a fair die.

Conduct the hypothesis test and provide the test​ statistic, critical value and​ P-value, and state the conclusion. A person purchased a slot machine and tested it by playing it 1,207 times. There are 10 different categories of​ outcomes, including no​ win, win​ jackpot, win with three​ bells, and so on. When testing the claim that the observed outcomes agree with the expected​ frequencies, the author obtained a test statistic of χ2=8.599. Use a 0.025 significance level to test the claim that the actual outcomes agree with the expected frequencies. Does the slot machine appear to be functioning as​ expected?

The test statistic is : 8.599 The critical value is : (K - one degree of freedom and the given significance level) (K = the number of different categories or outcomes.) K = 10 K -1 = 9 (Use the​ chi-square ​(χ2​) distribution table to find the critical value with 9 degrees of freedom and a significance level of α = 0.05​, rounding to three decimal places.) Critical Value χ2​ = 19.023 The P-value is : if you don't have StatCrunch, use (http://www.socscistatistics.com/pvalues/chidistribution.aspx) P-value = 0.4751 (Do not reject) H0. There (is not) sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the observed outcomes agree with the expected frequencies. The slot machine (appears) to be functioning as expected.

Conduct the hypothesis test and provide the test​ statistic, critical value and​ P-value, and state the conclusion. A person randomly selected 100 checks and recorded the cents portions of those checks. The table below lists those cents portions categorized according to the indicated values. Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that the four categories are equally likely. The person expected that many checks for whole dollar amounts would result in a disproportionately high frequency for the first​ category, but do the results support that​ expectation? Cents portion of check......Number ............0-24...........................32.... ...........25-49..........................20.... ...........50-74..........................24.... ...........75-99..........................24.... The test statistic is ___? The critical value is ___ ? The P-value is ___ ? State the conclusion.

The test statistic is... *O= Observed, *E= Expected Total (100)÷(number of columns) = Expected = 25 (make this chart ↓) _________________________________ Cents... O* E* (O-E) (O-E)² (O-E)²/E --------- ------ ------ ------- ---------- ------------- 0 - 24 | 32 | 25 | 7 | 49 | 1.96 | 24 - 49| 20 | 25 | -5 | 25 | 1 | 50 - 74| 24 | 25 | -1 | 1 | 0.04 | 75 - 99| 24 | 25 | -1 | 1 | 0.04 | Test statistic = ∑ ((O-E)²/E) = χ²= 3.04 The critical value is... "k" is the number of columns k-1= degrees of freedom = 3 Use the chi-square table to find that α = 0.10 and degrees of freedom = 3 gives... Critical value is χ²= 6.251 The P-value is... if you don't have StatCrunch, use http://www.socscistatistics.com/pvalues/chidistribution.aspx and input The Test Statistic and the Degrees of freedom to find... P-value = 0.3855 State the conclusion. (Do not reject) H0. There (is not) sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the four categories are equally likely. The results (do not appear) to support the expectation that the frequency for the first category is disproportionately high.

The table below summarizes results for randomly selected drivers stopped by police in a recent year. Using​ technology, the data in the table results in the statistics that follow. .............................Black and​ Non-Hispanic............................White and​ Non-Hispanic Stopped by police...................37............................................................135.............. Not stopped by police...........198..........................................................1179............... ​chi-square statistic = 6.044, degrees of freedom =​ 1, ​P-value = 0.014 Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that being stopped is independent of race. Based on available​ evidence, can we conclude that racial profiling is being​ used? Can we conclude that racial profiling is being​ used?

Yes, because the P-value is less than the significance level.
