Question
Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. Choose the correct choice below.
 
 
A.
H0​:
The expected frequencies are all equal to 5.
Ha​:
At least one expected frequency differs from 5.
 
B.
H0​:
The distribution of the variable is the same as the given distribution.
Ha​:
The distribution of the variable differs from the given distribution.
 
C.
H0​:
The distribution of the variable differs from the normal distribution.
Ha​:
The distribution of the variable is the normal distribution.
 
D.
H0​:
The distribution of the variable differs from the given distribution.
Ha​:
The distribution of the variable is the same as the given distribution.
 
Compute the value of the test​ statistic,
χ2.
 
χ2=
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
 
Find the​ P-value.
 
P=
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
Does the data provide sufficient evidence that the distribution of the variable differs from the given​ distribution?
 
 
 
A.
No​,
because there is sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
 
B.
Yes​,
because there is not sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
 
C.
Yes​,
because there is sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
 
D.
No​,
because there is not sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
 
 
A distribution and the observed frequencies of the values of a variable from a simple
random sample of the population are provided below. Use the chi-square goodness-of-fit
test to decide, at the specified significance level, whether the distribution of the variable
differs from the given distribution.
Distribution: 0.1875, 0.25, 0.25, 0.3125
Observed frequencies: 20, 21, 20, 35
Significance level = 0.05
