Chapter 11: Q. 77 (page 661)
Conduct a goodness-of-fit test to determine if the actual college majors of graduating females fit the distribution of their expected majors.
Short Answer
The actual college majors of graduating females fit the distribution of their expected majors.
Step by step solution
Step 1. Given information
Total frequency: \(=5000\)
Step 2. Calculation
\(H_{0}\) The actual college majors of graduating females fit the distribution of their expected majors
\(H_{a}\) The actual college majors of graduating females do not fit the distribution of their expected majors.
\(df=11-1=10\)
\(\chi ^{2}=11.48\)
\(\alpha=0.05\) or \(\alpha=0.01\)
\(p=0.3211\)
Since \(p\) value \(>\alpha\), the null hypothesis is not rejected. Therefore the actual college majors of graduating females fit the distribution of their expected majors.
