The Chi-Square Distribution: Homework Exercise 1 Explain why the “goodness of fit” test and the “test for independence” are generally right tailed tests. If you did a left-tailed test, what would you be testing? (2) - (23) For each word problem, use a solution sheet to solve the hypothesis test problem. Round expected frequency to two decimal places. Exercise 2 A 6-sided die is rolled 120 times. Fill in the expected frequency column. Then, conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the die is fair. The data below are the result of the 120 rolls. face value frequency expected frequency 1 15 2 29 3 16 4 15 5 30 6 15 Exercise 3 The marital status distribution of the U.S. male population, age 15 and older, is as shown below. (Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Current Population Reports) Marital Status Percent Expected Frequency never married 31.3 married 56.1 widowed 2.5 divorced/separated 10.1 Suppose that a random sample of 400 U.S. young adult males, 18 – 24 years old, yielded the following frequency distribution. We are interested in whether this age group of males fits the distribution of the U.S. adult population. Calculate the frequency one would expect when surveying 400 people. Fill in the above table, rounding to two decimal places. Marital Status Frequency never married 140 married 238 widowed 2 divorced/separated 20 (4) - (5) The percent columns in the chart below contain the race/ethnicity of U.S. Public Schools: High School Class of 2009 and the Advanced Placement Examinee Population for that class. (Source: http//:). Suppose the right column contains the result of a survey of 1000 local students from the Class of 2009 who took an AP Exam. Race/Ethnicity AP Examinee Population Overall Student Population Survey Frequency Asian, Asian American or Pacific Islander 10.2% 5.4% 113 Black or African American 8.2% 14.5% 94 Hispanic or Latino 15.5% 15.9% 136 American Indian or Alaska Native 0.6%
