Textbook Question
Chapter 3.7, Problem 2EG
For most cases, a p value of 0.05 is used to determine whether results fit expected values. Is this a “magic number,” or could p values be set more stringently, say 0.01, or more lax, say 0.10? What effect would these values have on the reliability of the chi-square test?

Corn plants from a test plot are measured, and the distribution of heights at 10-cm intervals is recorded in the following table: Height (cm) Plants (no.) 100 20 110 60 120 90 130 130 140 180 150 120 160 70 170 50 180 40 Calculate (a) the mean height, (b) the variance, (c) the standard deviation, and (d) the standard error of the mean. Plot a rough graph of plant height against frequency. Do the values represent a normal distribution? Based on your calculations, how would you assess the variation within this population?
If you perform a Chi-Squared analysis and determine that your result is greater than the critical value, what would you do?
a. Reject H0, accept HA
b. Accept H0
c. neither
The mean weight of loaves of bread produced at the bakery where you work is supposed to be 1 pound. You are the supervisor of
quality control at the bakery, and you are concerned that new employees are producing loaves that are too light. Suppose you
weigh an SRS of bread loaves and find that the mean weight is 0.975 pound.
What are the appropriate hypotheses for performing this significance test?
Ho : x = 1; H. : x < 1 where i = the sample mean weight (in pounds) of bread loaves produced at the bakery.
Ho : u = 1; H. : µ < 1 where u = the true mean weight (in pounds) of bread loaves produced at the bakery.
Ho : µ < 1; H, : H = 1 where u = the true mean weight (in pounds) of bread loaves produced at the bakery.
Ho : u = 1; H. : p = 0.975 where u= the true mean weight (in pounds) of bread loaves produced at the bakery.
Ho : u = 1; H. : u # 1 where u= the true mean weight (in pounds) of bread loaves produced at the bakery.

- If one is testing a goodness of fit to a 9:3:3:1 ratio, how many degrees of freedom would be associated with the Chi-square analysis?arrow_forwardAssume that a Chi-square test was conducted to test the goodness of fit to a 3:1 ratio and that a Chi-square value of 2.62 was obtained (Table value is equal to 3.84). Should the null hypothesis be accepted? How many degrees of freedom would be associated with this test of significance?arrow_forwardYou perform a chi-square test to compare observed and expected values and obtain a chi-square value of 9.4 with 3 degrees of freedom. What do you conclude? it is not likely that the difference between observed and expected values is due to random chance, since p>0.05 it is impossible to conclude anything from this information it is likely that the difference between observed and expected values is due to random chance, since p>0.05 it is likely that the difference between observed and expected values is due to random chance, since p<0.05 the experiment was done incorrectly and must be repeated it is not likely that the difference between observed and expected values is due to random chance, since p<0.05arrow_forward
