Chapter 12: Q. 12.96 (page 518)

State the null and alternative hypotheses for a chi-square homogeneity test
a. without using the terms homogeneous and nonhomogeneous.
b. using the terms homogeneous and nonhomogeneous

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a)

Without using the terms homogeneous and nonhomogeneous,

Null hypothesis,
H0 : The distributions of the variable are the same for all the populations.
Alternative hypothesis,
Ha : The distributions of the variable are not all the same (i.e., the distributions differ for at least two of the populations).

Part (b)

Using the terms homogeneous and nonhomogeneous

Null hypothesis,
H0 : The populations are homogeneous with respect to the variable.
Alternative hypothesis,
Ha : The populations are nonhomogeneous with respect to the variable.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information

Given test is a chi-square homogeneity test

02

Part (a) Step 2. without using the terms homogeneous and nonhomogeneous.

Without using the terms homogeneous and nonhomogeneous, the null and alternative hypotheses for a chi-square homogeneity test:
Null hypothesis,
H0: The distributions of the variable are the same for all the populations.
Alternative hypothesis,
Ha : The distributions of the variable are not all the same (i.e., the distributions differ for at least two of the populations).

03

Part (b) Step 1. Given information

Given test is a chi-square homogeneity test

04

Part (b) Step 2. using the terms homogeneous and nonhomogeneous 

Using the terms homogeneous and nonhomogeneous, the null and alternative hypotheses for a chi-square homogeneity test:
Null hypothesis,
H0 : The populations are homogeneous with respect to the variable.
Alternative hypothesis,
Ha : The populations are nonhomogeneous with respect to the variable.

In each case, decide whether Assumptions 1and 2for using chi-square goodness-of-fit test are satisfied.

Sample size n=50.

Relative frequencies0.65,0.30,0.05.

In each of Exercises 12.18-12.23, we have provided a distribution and the observed frequencies of the values of a variable from a simple random sample of a population. In each case, use the chi-square goodness-of-fit test to decide, at the specified significance level, whether the distribution of the variable differs from the given distribution.

Distribution: 0.2, 0.4, 0.3, 0.1

Observed frequencies: 85, 215, 130, 70

Significance level = 0.05

For a χ2curve with 22degrees of freedom, determine the χ2value that has area

Fear of Gangs. In the article "Growing Pains and Fear of Gangs" (Applied Psychology in Criminal Justice, Vol. 5, No. 2, pp. 139-164), B. Brown and W. Benedict examined the relationship between worry about a gang attack and actually being a victim of a gang attack. Interviews of a sample of high school students yielded the following contingency table.

In each of Exercises 12.11-12.16, we have given the relative frequencies for the null hypothesis of a chi-square goodness-of-fir text and the sample size. In each case, decide whether Assumptions 1 and 2 for using that text are satisfied.

Sample size : n= 50.

Relative frequencies: 0.22 , 0.21 , 0.25 , 0.30 , 0.02.
