Question

 Is there an association between hair color and body type? The table below shows the results of a researcher's observations of randomly selected people.

Frequencies of Hair Colors for Various Body Types

  Blonde Brunette Red Head
Short and Slender 80 84 52
Short and Pudgy 91 105 72
Tall and Slender 59 96 68
Tall and Heavy 60 109 75

 What can be concluded at the αα = 0.05 significance level?

  1. What is the correct statistical test to use?
    • Paired t-test
    • Goodness-of-Fit
    • Homogeneity
    • Independence
  2. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?
    H0:H0: 
    • The distribution of hair color is the same for each body type.
    • The distribution of hair color is not the same for each body type.
    • Hair color and body type are dependent.
    • Hair color and body type are independent.







    H1:H1: 
    • Hair color and body type are dependent.
    • The distribution of hair color is not the same for each body type.
    • Hair color and body type are independent.
    • The distribution of hair color is the same for each body type.
  3. The test-statistic for this data = (Please show your answer to three decimal places.)





  4. The p-value for this sample = (Please show your answer to four decimal places.) 





  5. The p-value is Select an answer greater than less than (or equal to)  αα 





  6. Based on this, we should
    • fail to reject the null
    • accept the null
    • reject the null
  7. Thus, the final conclusion is...
    • There is insufficient evidence to conclude that hair color and body type are dependent.
    • There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the distribution of hair color is not the same for each body type.
    • There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the distribution of hair color is not the same for each body type.
    • There is sufficient evidence to conclude that hair color and body type are independent.
    • There is sufficient evidence to conclude that hair color and body type are dependent.
