The fifth class intervals include the observation 28.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Limit grouping with equal-width 5 was used to group a quantitative data collection.

a)

If the first-class mark is 8, we may calculate the lower and higher limits as follows:

The first class's lowest limit is

=1+Classwidth=1+5=6

Mark=Lowerlimitofthefirstclass+Upperlimitofthefirstclass2Upperlimitofthefirstclass=2Mark-Lowerlimitofthefirstclass=2(8)-6=10

Therefore,

The first class has a lower limit of 6.

The second class has a maximum of 10 students.

02

Subpart (b) Step 2:

b)

The class mark for the second class is as follows.

The second class's lower limit is

=thefirstclass'slowerlimit+classwidth=6+5=11

The second class's maximum limit is

=Upperlimitofthefirstclass+Classwidth=10+5=15

The breadth of the class is 5.

11-15 is the second class interval.

The following formula is used to calculate the class mark:

Mark=Lowerlimitofthesecondclass+Upperlimitofthesecondclass2=11+152=13

As a result, the second-class class mark is 13.

03

Subpart (c) Step 3:

c)

The third class intervals are shown below.

The third class's lowest limit is

=Lowerlimitofthesecondclass+Classwidth=11+5=16

The third class's top maximum is

=Second-classupperlimit+Classwidth=15+5=20

The breadth of the class is 5.

The third class interval is between 16 and 20.

04

Subpart (d) Step 1:

d)

The fourth class intervals are shown below.

The fourth class's lower limit is

=thethirdclass'slowerlimit+theclass'swidth.=16+5=21

The fourth class's upper limit is

=thethirdclass'supperlimit+theclass'swidth=20+5=25.

05

Calculation

The fifth-class intervals are listed below.

The fifth class's lower limit is

=thefourthclass'slowerlimit+theclass'swidth=21+5=26.

The fifth class's top maximum is

=Upperlimitofthefourthclass+Classwidth=25+5=30

The fifth-class interval is between 26 and 30.

As a result, the observation 28 is included in the fifth class intervals.

Regarding the expected-frequency assumptions for a chi-square goodness-of-fit test, a chi-square independence test, or a chi-square homogeneity test,

a. state them.

b. how important are they?

To decide whether two variables of a population are associated, we usually need to resort to inferential methods such as the chi-square independence test. Why?

Suppose that you have bivariate data for an entire population.

a. How would you decide whether an association exists between the two variables under consideration?

b. Assuming that you make no calculation mistakes, could your conclusion be in error? Explain your answer.

Loaded Die? A gambler thinks a die may be loaded, that is, that the six numbers are not equally likely. To test his suspicion, he rolled the die 150 times and obtained the data shown in the following table.

Do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the die is loaded? Perform the hypothesis test at the 0.05 level of significance.

In given exercise use either the critical-value approach or the P-value approach to perform a chi square independence lest. provided the conditions for using the test are met.

Siskel In the classic TV show Sneak Previews, originally hosted by the late Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert, the two Chicago movie critics reviewed the weeks new movie releases and

then rated them thumbs up (positive), mixed, thumbs down (negative). These two critics often saw the merits of a movie differently. In general, however, were ratings given by Siskel and Ebert

associated? The answer to this question was the focus of the paper "Evaluating Agreement and Disagreement Among Movie Reviewers" by A. Agresti and L. Winner that appeared in Chance

(Vol- 10(2), pp-10-14). The following contingency table summarizes ratings by Siskel and Ebert for 160 movies.

At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that an association exists between ratings of Siskel and Ebert?
