04 Activity Chi Square

The document contains two chi-square goodness of fit tests. The first test examines survey results from shoppers at five different department stores to see if the proportion of shoppers is the same across all stores. The chi-square test statistic is above the critical value, so the null hypothesis that the proportions are the same is rejected. The second test examines the results of rolling a six-sided die 240 times to see if the die is unbiased. In this case, the chi-square test statistic is below the critical value, so there is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis that the die is unbiased.

1. A department store, A, has four competitors: B, C, D, and E.

Store A hires a consultant to determine if the percentage of


shoppers who prefer each of the five (5) stores is the same. A
survey with 1100 randomly selected shoppers is conducted,
and below are the results of which one of the store's shoppers
prefer. Is there enough evidence using a significance level 𝛼 =
0.05 to conclude that the proportions are really the same?
Store  A  B  C  D  E 
Number of Shoppers  262  234  204  190  210 

a. The null hypothesis 𝐻0: The population frequencies are equal


to the expected frequencies.
b. The alternative hypothesis 𝐻𝑎: The null hypothesis is false.
c. The level of significance 𝛼 = 0.05
d. The degrees of freedom: k – 1 = 5 -1 = 4
e. The test statistic: 
(O- (O−E) 2
STORE E=r*c/N O (O-E) 2 E
E)
A 1100 / 5 = 220 262 42 1764 8.018
B 1100 / 5 = 220 234 14 196 .891
C 1100 / 5 = 220 204 -16 256 1.164
D 1100 / 5 = 220 190 -30 900 4.091
E 1100 / 5 = 220 210 -10 100 .455

x =¿14.169

f. The critical value: a = 0.05 and k – 1 = 4, critical value = 9.49


g. Decision:  x 2 = 14.619 > 9.49, there is enough evidence to reject
the null hypothesis.
2. Suppose that we have a 6-sided die. We assume that the die is
unbiased (upon rolling the die, each outcome is equally likely).
An experiment is conducted in which the die is rolled 240
times. The outcomes are in the table below. At a significance
level of 𝛼 = 0.05, is there enough evidence to support the
hypothesis that the die is unbiased?
  Outcome  1  2  3  4  5  6 
  Frequency  34  44  30  46  51  35 

a. The null hypothesis 𝐻0: Every roll of the die is likely equal.


b. The alternative hypothesis 𝐻𝑎: The null hypothesis is false.
c. The level of significance 𝛼 = 0.05
d. The degrees of freedom: k – 1 = 6 – 1 = 5
e. The test statistic: 
(O−E) 2
SIDES E=r*c/N O (O-E) (O-E)2 E
1 240 / 6 = 40 34 -6 36 0.9
2 240 / 6 = 40 44 4 16 0.4
3 240 / 6 = 40 30 -10 100 2.5
4 240 / 6 = 40 46 6 36 0.9
5 240 / 6 = 40 51 11 121 3.025
6 240 / 6 = 40 35 -5 25 0.625
x=¿ 8.35

f. The critical value: a = 0.05 and k – 1 = 5, critical value is 11.07


g. Decision:  x 2 = 8.35 < 11.07, there is not enough evidence to
reject the null hypothesis and the die is unbiased.
