A local college recently made the news by offering foreign language-speaking dorms to its students. At another school, 50 randomly selected students from each class were asked if they favored foreign language-speaking dorms. The results are shown below. At αα =0.10, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportions of students favoring foreign language-speaking dorms are not the same? Freshmen Sophmores Juniors Seniors Yes (favor) 6 11 22 20 No 44 39 28 30 What are the expected numbers? (round to 3 decimal places) Freshmen Sophmores Juniors Seniors Yes (favor) No The hypotheses are H0:p1=p2=p3=p4H0:p1=p2=p3=p4 HA:HA: At least one of the proportions is different. (claim) Since αα = 0.10 the critical value is 6.251 The test value is: (round to 3 decimal places) The p-value is (round to 3 decimal places) So the decision is to reject H0H0 do not reject H0H0 Thus the final conclusion is There is not enough evidence to support the claim that at least one of the proportions is different. There is enough evidence to reject the claim that at least one of the proportions is different. There is enough evidence to support the claim that at least one of the proportions is different. There is not enough evidence to reject the claim that at least one of the proportions is different.

Freshmen | Sophmores | Juniors | Seniors | |
Yes (favor) | 6 | 11 | 22 | 20 |
No | 44 | 39 | 28 | 30 |
What are the expected numbers? (round to 3 decimal places)
Freshmen | Sophmores | Juniors | Seniors | |
Yes (favor) | ||||
No |
The hypotheses are
H0:p1=p2=p3=p4H0:p1=p2=p3=p4
HA:HA: At least one of the proportions is different. (claim)
Since αα = 0.10 the critical value is 6.251
The test value is: (round to 3 decimal places)
The p-value is (round to 3 decimal places)
So the decision is to
- reject H0H0
- do not reject H0H0
Thus the final conclusion is
- There is not enough evidence to support the claim that at least one of the proportions is different.
- There is enough evidence to reject the claim that at least one of the proportions is different.
- There is enough evidence to support the claim that at least one of the proportions is different.
- There is not enough evidence to reject the claim that at least one of the proportions is different.
