Question

The following table shows site type and type of pottery for a random sample of 628 sherds at an archaeological location.

  Pottery Type  
Site Type Mesa Verde
Black-on-White
McElmo
Black-on-White
Mancos
Black-on-White
Row Total
Mesa Top 75 59 55 189
Cliff-Talus 79 65 69 213
Canyon Bench 87 66 73 226
Column Total 241 190 197 628
 

Use a chi-square test to determine if site type and pottery type are independent at the 0.01 level of significance.

(a) What is the level of significance?


State the null and alternate hypotheses.
H0: Site type and pottery are not independent.
H1: Site type and pottery are not independent.H0: Site type and pottery are independent.
H1: Site type and pottery are independent.    H0: Site type and pottery are not independent.
H1: Site type and pottery are independent.H0: Site type and pottery are independent.
H1: Site type and pottery are not independent.

(b) Find the value of the chi-square statistic for the sample. (Round the expected frequencies to at least 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?
binomialnormal    chi-squareStudent's tuniform

What are the degrees of freedom?


(c) Find or estimate the P-value of the sample test statistic. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
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 > ?, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.Since the P-value > ?, we reject the null hypothesis.    Since the P-value ≤ ?, we reject the null hypothesis.Since the P-value ≤ ?, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

(e) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.
At the 1% level of significance, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that site and pottery type are not independent.At the 1% level of significance, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that site and pottery type are not independent.
