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.
(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?
What sampling distribution will you use?
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.)
(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.

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.
