Chapter 12.3, Problem 24E
Supplier Quality: Three Inspection Outcomes. The Ertl Company is well known for its high-quality die-cast metal alloy toy replicas of tractors and other farm equipment. As part of a periodic procurement evaluation, Ertl is considering purchasing parts for a toy tractor line from three different suppliers. The parts received from the suppliers are classified as having a minor defect, having a major defect, or being good. Test results from samples of parts received from each of the three suppliers are shown below. Note that any test with these data is no longer a test of proportions for the three supplier populations because the categorical response variable has three outcomes: minor defect, major defect, and good.
Using the data above, conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the distribution of defects is the same for the three suppliers. Use the chi-square test calculations as presented in this section with the exception that a table with r rows and c columns results in a chi-square test statistic with (r – 1)(c – 1) degrees of freedom. Using a .05 level of significance, what is the p-value and what is your conclusion?

In the Salsberry (2003) study shared in this weeks module, the researcher presents the following results of the statistical analysis: "With respect to family configuration, 20% of the children enrolled in Medicaid, 29% of the uninsured children, and 44% of the privately insured children were in families where the adults were in a “partnered relationship”, [χ2 (2,N = 392) = 21.95; P = .0001]" What type of analysis does this statement reflect?
In the book Business Research Methods (5th ed.), Donald R. Cooper and C. William Emory discuss studying the relationship between on-the-job accidents and smoking. Cooper and Emory describe the study as follows:
Suppose a manager implementing a smoke-free workplace policy is interested in whether smoking affects worker accidents. Since the company has complete reports of on-the-job accidents, she draws a sample of names of workers who were involved in accidents during the last year. A similar sample from among workers who had no reported accidents in the last year is drawn. She interviews members of both groups to determine if they are smokers or not.
The sample results are given in the following table.

On the roads bordering five randomly selected farms in one county labeled generically as Farms A, B, C, D, and E, the survey counts were as follows: Farm # Pheasants Road miles A 3 1 B 8 1 C 9 2 D 5 1 E 11 3 One hypothesis about the geographic distribution of organisms, knowns as the spatial randomness hypothesis, asserts, as applied to the pheasant survey, that pheasants are randomly distributed throughout uniform habitat in such a way that the expected number of pheasants along any stretch of road is proportional to the length of that road. The lengths of road traveled along each farm are shown in the rightmost column of the table. Do the counts from the survey support or cast doubt on the spatial randomness hypothesis for pheasants on farmland in this country?

- A report summarizes a survey of people in two independent random samples. One sample consisted of 700 young adults (aged 19 to 35) and the other sample consisted of 200 parents of children aged 19 to 35. The young adults were presented with a variety of situations (such as getting married or buying a house) and were asked if they thought that their parents were likely to provide financial support in that situation. The parents of young adults were presented with the same situations and asked if they would be likely to provide financial support to their child in that situation. 1. When asked about getting married, 41% of the young adults said they thought parents would provide financial support and 43% of the parents said they would provide support. Carry out a hypothesis test to determine if there is convincing evidence that the proportion of young adults who think parents would provide financial support and the proportion of parents who say they would provide support are different.…arrow_forwardA report summarizes a survey of people in two independent random samples.
