Question
The director of library services at a college did a survey of types of books (by subject) in the circulation library. Then she used library records to take a random sample of 888 books checked out last term and classified the books in the sample by subject. The results are shown below.
Subject Area | Percent of Books on Subject in Circulation Library on This Subject |
Number of Books in Sample on This Subject |
Business | 32% | 274 |
Humanities | 25% | 214 |
Natural Science | 20% | 211 |
Social Science | 15% | 111 |
All other subjects | 8% | 78 |
Using a 5% level of significance, test the claim that the subject distribution of books in the library fits the distribution of books checked out by students.
(a) What is the level of significance?
State the null and alternate hypotheses.
(b) Find the value of the chi-square statistic for the sample. (Round the expected frequencies to three decimal places. Round the test statistic to three decimal places.)
Are all the expected frequencies greater than 5?
What sampling distribution will you use?
What are the degrees of freedom?
(c) Estimate the P-value of the sample test statistic.
(d) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis of independence?
(e) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.
State the null and alternate hypotheses.
H0: The distributions are the same.
H1: The distributions are different.H0: The distributions are different.
H1: The distributions are different. H0: The distributions are different.

(b) Find the value of the chi-square statistic for the sample. (Round the expected frequencies to three decimal places. Round the test statistic to three decimal places.)
Are all the expected frequencies greater than 5?
YesNo
What sampling distribution will you use?
Student's tnormal chi-squarebinomialuniform
What are the degrees of freedom?
(c) Estimate the P-value of the sample test statistic.
P-value > 0.1000.050 < P-value < 0.100 0.025 < P-value < 0.0500.010 < P-value < 0.0250.005 < P-value < 0.010P-value < 0.005
(d) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis of independence?
Since the P-value > α, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.Since the P-value > α, we reject the null hypothesis. Since the P-value ≤ α, we reject the null hypothesis.Since the P-value ≤ α, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
(e) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.
At the 5% level of significance, the evidence is sufficient to conclude that the subject distribution of books in the library is different from that of books checked out by students.At the 5% level of significance, the evidence is insufficient to conclude that the subject distribution of books in the library is different from that of books checked out by students.

Identify at least one sample proportion within the article (you can list more than one if you like), and state what that sample proportion measures. For example, if you're told that the sample proportion of people in Renton who are taller than 5'11" is 80.7%, and you're also told that the sample size is 57, then you would state the proportion as 46/57 in your response for this part of the assignment. You will probably have to interpret what is being said in the article in order to be able to state specifically what the sample proportion represents. Also, you might not have x or n, you might only have the percentage or a decimal equivalent. Often, the size of the sample is stated somewhere in the article, and it's important to find that value. So, if n is given, please include it in this part of the assignment. If stated in the article, identify whether the sample is a…arrow_forwardPlease help answering this one:arrow_forward
