A company has been running television commercials for a new children’s product on five different

family programs during the evening hours in a large city over a one-month period. A random sample of families is taken, and they are asked to indicate the one program they viewed most often and their rating of the advertised product. The results are summarized in the following table.

The advertiser decided to use a chi-square test to see if there is a relationship between the family program viewed and the product’s rating. What would be the degrees of freedom for this test?

(a) 3 (c) 12 (e) 19

(b) 4 (d) 18

Short Answer

Expert verified

The degree of freedom for this test is12

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We have been given that A company has been running television commercials for a new children’s product on five different family programs during the evening hours in a large city over a one-month period.

The number of columns of the given table is c=5

The number of row of the given table is r=4

And this formula is used in this questiondf=(c-1)(r-1)

02

Explanation

The degree of freedom is the product of the number of columns decreased by 1 and the number of rows decreased by 1:

df=(c-1)(r-1)=(5-1)(4-1)=(4)(3)=12

An old saying in golf is “You drive for show and you putt for dough.” The point is that good putting is more important than long driving for shooting low scores and hence winning money. To see if this is the case, data from a random sample of 69of the nearly 1000players on the PGA Tour’s world money list are examined. The average number of putts per hole and the player’s total winnings for the previous season is recorded. A least-squares regression line was fitted to the data. The following results were obtained from statistical software.

Suppose that the researchers test the hypotheses H0:β=0: Ha:β<0. The value of the t statistic for this test is

(b)2.44

(c)0.081

(d)-2.44

(e) -20.24
