Chapter 13, Problem 1RP
How do you distinguish among the infinitely many different chi-square distributions and their corresponding, χ2-curves?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
How do you distinguish among the infinitely many different chi-square distributions and their corresponding chi-square curves.
Answer to Problem 1RP
By using the number of degrees of freedom, the distributions and curves can be distinguished.
Explanation of Solution
Justification:
As the number of degrees of freedom increases the chi-square curve looks like a normal curve.

D, C, B)??? In other words, finding two cut off scores? Reference: The mean and standard deviation of last semester’s Test 1 scores are 76.5 and 14.8 respectively. Imagine we want to define letter grades using a Normal distribution (assuming this is appropriate). One possible grade distribution could be that the lowest 10% of students earn F’s, the next 15% earn D’s, the next 50% earn C’s, the next 15% earn B’s, and the rest of the students earn A’s. Using the Normal distribution, calculate the Test 1 scores that would separate these letter grades. Your answer needs to include five Normal graphs from StatCrunch where the shaded area on each graph shows the range of scores needed to earn the specific letter grade. Hint: The graphs for A and F will only have one value as a cutoff score whereas the graphs for a B, C, and D will have two cutoff scores. Which students are happy about their curved grades?

- Assume a media agency reports that it takes television streaming service subscribers in the U.S. an average of 6.14 days to watch the entire first season of a television series, with a standard deviation of 4.03 days. Scarlett is an analyst for an online television and movie streaming service company that targets to the 18-50 age bracket. She wants to determine if her company's customers exhibit shorter viewing rates for their series offerings. Scarlett plans to conduct a one-sample z-test, with significance level of a = 0.05, to test the null hypothesis, Ho: µ = 6.14 days, against the alternative hypothesis, H1: µ < 6.14 days. The variable u is the mean amount of time, in days, that it takes for customers to watch the first season of a television series. Scarlett selects a simple random sample of 825 customers who watched the first season of a television series from the company database of over 25,000 customers that qualified.
