Question
Consider a car seller who sells four brands (A, B, C, and D) of cars. He says that he does not give any priority to any brand of cars and considers all brands equally important. In a given day, the number of cars available with brands A, B, C, and D is 50, 40, 45, and 60, respectively. Using significance α=0.05, test to find out if there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the car seller is right with his claim.

Step 1
The claim of the test is that all the brands of cars are equally important (equally likely). The hypotheses are,
Null hypothesis:
All the brands are equally likely
Alternative hypothesis:
All the brands are not equally likely
The expected values are,
| Brand | Observed values | Expected values |
| A | 50 | |
| B | 40 | |
| C | 45 | |
| D | 60 | |
| Total | 195 |

- A company is carrying out a consumer satisfaction survey for two of its products, product A and product B. The company believes that product A receives a higher proportion of satisfied customers than product B. Out of the 80 product A customers surveyed, 52 said they were satisfied with the product and out of the 100 product B customers surveyed, 42 said they were satisfied with the product. Use these sample statistics to compare the proportion of product A customers that are satisfied, p 1, and the proportion of product B customers that are satisfied, p 2. i) Carry out a hypothesis test for a significant difference between the two population proportions, at significance level α = 0.05. The hypotheses being tested are: H 0: p 1 - p 2 = 0 H a: p 1 - p 2 ≠ 0.

- What statistical test would a researcher use to test the following research hypothesis: Individuals who report less favorable attitudes toward the police are more likely to be sentenced to higher security prisons. Attitudes measured as 1 = very favorable, 2 = somewhat favorable, 3 = somewhat not favorable, and 4 = not at all favorable. Sentences measured as 1 = minimum, 2 = medium, and 3 = maximum.arrow_forward8) The following results are from data that were collected from the various high schools around the county. The dependent variable is % OF STUDENTS GOING TO COLLEGE, and the independent variables are: AVERAGE CLASS SIZE, COMBINED SAT SCORES, SPENDING PER STUDENT, AVERAGE TEACHER SALARY, AND % TAKING THE SAT Since the 3 variables AVERAGE CLASS SIZE, SPENDING PER STUDENT, AND AVERAGE TEACHER SALARY are each not significant at the 10% level of significance individually, in order to test to see if as a group they are significant the 3 variables are excluded and another regression is run. The results are as follows: a) At the 10% level of significance, test whether as a group AVERAGE CLASS SIZE, SPENDING PER STUDENT, AND AVERAGE TEACHER SALARY are significant. Be sure to state the null and alternative hypotheses for this hypothesis test.arrow_forwardA sample of n = 25 scores has a mean of x̅ = 65 and an estimated standard error of sM = 2 points.

She collects a sample of n = 10 people and asks them whether they like the taste of Vegemite. The following table summarizes the results. Male Female Does Not Like the Taste of Vegemite 4 1 Likes the Taste of Vegemite 2 3 The researcher wants to calculate the correlation between a person's gender and whether he or she likes the taste of Vegemite. To do so, the researcher first creates a table of the data by converting each variable to a numerical value. She assigns 0 to "male" and 1 to "female." She then assigns 0 to "does not like the taste of Vegemite" and 1 to "likes the taste of Vegemite."arrow_forwardWe discuss how to test for an association between two categorical variables in Section 6.8. A marine research team records the number of fish from 3 species that they find at different depth categories in the ocean. They are interested in assessing whether or not there is a relationship between the depth category (close to surface, mid-level, ocean floor) and the fish species found (species A, species B, species C). A two-way table showing the classification of a sample of 150 observations is given below. If the variables for the ocean depth category and the species are independent, how would you calculate the expected number of fish that are at the mid-level and from species C?
