Question
A researcher wonders if there an association between the incidence of colds and the amount of Vitamin C
taken. He recruits 93 volunteers and randomly assigns 26 of them to take 500 mg of Vitamin C, 18 of them
to take 1000 mg of Vitamin C and the rest to take no Vitamin C. At the end of the study, it was determined
that 30 of the volunteers did not have any colds where 15 of them were in the 500 mg group, 11 of them
were in the 1000 mg group, and the rest took no Vitamin C.
Test the appropriate hypothesis at a = 0.01. Round your answers to three decimal places, if necessary.
Fill in the hypotheses below:
Ho: There is not
vitamin C taken.
Ha: There is
vitamin C taken.
No Vitamin C
Complete the table of expected counts under the null hypothesis:
500mg Vitamin C
1000mg Vitamin C
No Vitamin C
