HA: Hours of sleep of high school students are not equal in
distribution.
each cell were in counts. Independence Assumption: The counts (hours of sleep) in the cells are independent of each other. Randomization Condition: The respondents who have been counted were taken from a simple random sample. The students surveyed are taken as a representative sample of the teenage population. Expected Cell Frequency Condition: Expected cell frequencies range from 10 which is greater than 5.
All clear! Now we can go conduct the chi-square test!
