Chapter 11: Q. 3 (page 734)

The conditions for carrying out the chi-square test in exercise T11.2 are

I. Separate random samples from the populations of interest.

II. Expected counts large enough.

III. The samples themselves and the individual observations in each sample are independent.

Which of the conditions is (are) satisfied in this case?

(a) I only

(d) Il and III only

(b) II only

(e) I, II, and III

(c) I and II only

Short Answer

Expert verified

(e) I, II, and III

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Need to say which case satisfies the conditions.

02

Explanation

The test that was executed in exercise 2 was the chi-square test for association/independence.

There are three requirements to perform this test: Random, Normal, and Independent.

Random: The samples need to be separate random samples of the population.

Normal: All expected counts need to be at least 5

Independent: The samples are independent and the individual observations in each sample are independent.

Thus I, II, and III all need to be satisfied in this case, and thus answer (e) is correct.

The Pennsylvania State University has its main campus in the town of State College and more than 20smaller “commonwealth campuses” around the state. The Penn State Division of Student Affairs polled separate random samples of undergraduates from the main campus and commonwealth campuses about their use of online social networking. Facebook was the most popular site, with more than 80%of students having an account. Here is a comparison of Facebook use by undergraduates at the main campus and commonwealth campuses who have a Facebook account:

Calculate the conditional distribution (in proportions) of Facebook use for each campus setting?

Sorry, no chi-square (11.1) Explain why it would not be appropriate to perform a chi-square goodness-of-fit test in this setting.

The University of Chicago’s General Social Survey (GSS) is the nation’s most important social science sample survey. For reasons known only to social scientists, the GSS regularly asks a random sample of people their astrological sign. Here are the counts of responses from a recent GSS:

12If births are spread uniformly across the year, we expect all 12 signs to be equally likely. Are these data inconsistent with that belief? Carry out an appropriate test to support your answer. If you find a significant result, perform a follow-up analysis

Do men and women participate in sports for the same reasons? One goal for sports participants is social comparison—the desire to win or to do better than other people. Another is mastery—the desire to improve one’s skills or to try one’s best. A study on why students participate in sports collected data from independent random samples of 67male and 67female undergraduates at a large university. Each student was classified into one of four categories based on his or her responses to a questionnaire about sports goals. The four categories were high social comparison– high mastery (HSC-HM), high social comparison– low mastery (HSC-LM), low social comparison–high mastery (LSC-HM), and low social comparison–low mastery (LSC-LM). One purpose of the study was to compare the goals of male and female students. Here are the data displayed in a two-way table:

(a) Calculate the conditional distribution (in proportions) of the reported sports goals for each gender.

(b) Make an appropriate graph for comparing the conditional distributions in part (a).

(c) Write a few sentences comparing the distributions of sports goals for male and female undergraduates.
