Chapter 13.2, Problem 26E
In each of Exercises 13.24-13.33, apply the chi-square goodness-of-fit-test, using either the critical-value approach or the P-value approach, to perform the required hypothesis test.
13.26 Road Rage. The report controlling Road Rage: A Literature Review and pilot study was prepared for the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety by D. Rathbone and J. Huckabee. The authors discussed the results of a literature review and pilot study on how to prevent aggressive driving and road rage. Road rage is defined as “…an incident in which an angry or impatient motorist or passenger intentionally injures or kills another motorist, passenger, or pedestrian, or attempts or threatens to injure or kill another motorist, passenger, or pedestrian.” One aspect of the study was to investigate road rage as a

At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that road-rage incidents are more likely to occur on some days than on others?

A consumer group is investigating a producer of diet meals to examine if its prepackaged meals actually contain the advertised 6 ounces of protein in each package. Assume the weights of all the prepackaged meals are normally distributed. Based on the following data, is there any evidence that the meals do not contain the advertised amount of protein? Run the appropriate test at a 5% level of significance.
A. What are the appropriate hypotheses?
B. What is the critical value(s) of the test?

"In your response indicate whether CPAs in states that have flat state income tax rates work fewer hours per week during tax season compared to the US average. You will want to formally set up H0 and Ha, report either the test statistic (z-value) or p-value, and explain why you either reject or fail to reject your null hypothesis."
