For df = 12 and .025 area in the right tail:

2 = 23.337

11.3

For df = 28 and .05 area in the right tail:

2 = 41.337

11.4

For an area of .10 in the left tail, the area in the right tail is 1 .10 = .90. Hence, the value of chi

square for df = 14 and .10 area in the left tail is the same as for df = 14 and .90 area in the right tail,
which is:
11.5

2 = 7.790

For an area of .990 in the left tail, the area in the right tail is 1 .990 = .01. Hence, the value of chi
square for df = 23 and .990 area in the left tail is the same as for df = 23 and .01 area in the right tail,
which is:

11.6

2 = 41.638

a. For df = 4 and .005 area in the right tail: 2 = 14.860


b. For an area of .05 in the left tail, the area in the right tail is 1 .05 = .95. Hence, the value of
chisquare for df = 4 and .05 area in the left tail is the same as for df = 4 and .95 area in the right
tail, which is: 2 = .711

11.7

a. For an area of .025 in the left tail, the area in the right tail is 1 .025 = .975. Hence, the value of
chisquare for df = 13 and .025 area in the left tail is the same as for df = 13 and .975 area in the
right tail, which is:

2 = 5.009

b. For df = 13 and .995 area in the right tail, 2 = 3.565.


11.8

Following are the four characteristics of a multinomial experiment.


1. It consists of n identical trials.
2. Each trial results in one of k possible outcomes (or categories) where k > 2.
3. The trials are independent.
4. The probabilities of various outcomes remain constant for each trial.

11.9

goodnessoffit test compares the observed frequencies from a multinomial experiment with
expected frequencies derived from a certain pattern or theoretical distribution. The test evaluates how
well the observed frequencies fit the expected frequencies.

11.10

The observed frequencies are actual results obtained from a multinomial experiment. The expected
frequencies are calculated from a theoretical distribution. These are the frequencies that we expect to
obtain if the null hypothesis is true.

11.11

The expected frequency of a category is given by = np where n is the sample size and p is the
probability that an element belongs to that category if the null hypothesis is true. The degrees of

Chapter Eleven

70

freedom for a goodnessoffit test are k 1, where k is the number of possible outcomes (or
categories) for the experiment.
11.12

The minimum expected frequency for each category should be 5. If this condition is not satisfied, we
may increase the sample size or combine two or more categories to make each expected frequency at
least 5.

11.13

Step 1:

H0: The die is fair;

1: The die is not fair.

Step 2:

Because there are six categories (a die has six outcomes), it is a multinomial experiment.
Consequently, we use chisquare distribution to conduct the test.

Step 3:

The significance level is .05. Because a goodness of fit test is always a right tailed test,
area in the right tail = = .05
k = number of categories = 6, so df = k 1 = 6 1 = 5
From the chisquare distribution table, the critical value of 2 for df = 5 and .05 area in the
right tail is 11.070.

Step 4:

Note that the die will be fair if the probability of each of the six outcomes is the same,
which is 1/6.

Do not reject the null hypothesis. The die is fair.

H0: The current distribution of responses of all such workers is the same as that of 2002.
1: The current distribution of responses of all such workers differs from that of 2002.
The significance level is .05. Because a goodness of fit test is always right tailed, area in the right
tail is = .05.
k = number of categories = 4; so

df = k 1 = 4 1 = 3;

From the chisquare distribution table, the critical value of 2 for df = 3 and .05 area in the right tail is

In a test of independence, we test the null hypothesis that two characteristics in a given population are
independent against the alternative hypothesis that they are related. For example, we may want to test
whether political party affiliation and opinion of voters on abortion are related.
In a test of homogeneity, we test whether two or more populations are the same with respect to the
distribution of certain characteristics. For example, we may want to test whether the preferences of several
different ethnic groups are similar for three television programs.

The expected frequency for a cell in a contingency table is given by = (Row total)(Column total)/n where
"Row total" represents the total of the observations in the row of that cell, "Column total" is the total of the

df = (R 1)(C 1), where R and C are the number of rows and columns, respectively, in the table.

The test statistic is: 2 = (O E)2 /E=4.500+ 2.700+ .180+ .108+ .500+ .300+ 3.380+ 2.028 = 13.696
Since 13.696 > 11.345, reject H0. The proportion of students in each grade watching at least 3 hours of
TV per school day differs.

df = (R 1)(C 1) = (2 1)(3 1) = 2
For = .05, and df = 2, the critical value of 2 is 5.991
From the given data we can calculate the following:
Total number opposed = 200(.60) = 120
Total number in favor = 200(.32) = 64
Total number undecided = 200(.08) = 16
Number of women opposed = 120(.65) = 78
Number of men opposed = 120 78 = 42
Number of men in favor = 64(.625) = 40
Number of women in favor = 64 40 = 24
Number of women undecided = 110 78 24 = 8
Number of men undecided = 16 8 = 8
Using these results, we may construct the following twoway table of observations and expected
values.

The test statistic is: 2 = (O E)2 / E = 2.182 + 3.564 + .073 + 2.667 + 4.356 + .089 = 12.931
Since 12.931 > 5.991, reject H0. Conclude that opinions on the disposal site are dependent on gender.

c. z2 = (1.64)2 is approximately equal to 2 = 2.713. The difference is due to rounding.
The p values are the same (the difference is due to rounding), which is always true since the tests
