X2test statistic is2.04

Step by step solution

01

Given Information 

Given tables are

we have to determineX2test statistics.

02

Explanation  

We know that there are1000total frequencies. As a result, we multiply each frequency by 1000and calculate the table below.

The following steps will be used to calculate the χ2test statistic.

1. In the first column of the excel sheet, we write the expected frequencies.

2. Fill in the first column of the excel sheet with the observed frequencies.

3. Create a column titled (Observed - Expected)

4. Create a new column to calculate the square of the result (Observed Expected)

5. Divide the square of (Observed - Predicted) by the expected frequencies of each observation in the last column.

6. Finally, we add the last two columns together.

Let's now perform the calculation in Excel as follows:

X2test statistic is2.04

Suppose an airline claims that its flights are consistently on time with an average delay of at most 15minutes. It claims that the average delay is so consistent that the variance is no more than 150minutes. Doubting the consistency part of the claim, a disgruntled traveler calculates the delays for his next 25flights. The average delay for those 25flights is 22minutes with a standard deviation of 15minutes.

If an additional test were done on the claim of the average delay, but 45 flights were surveyed, which distribution would you use?

You want to buy a specific computer. A sales representative of the manufacturer claims that retail stores sell this computer at an average price of \(1,249 with a very narrow standard deviation of \)25. You find a website that has a price comparison for the same computer at a series of stores as follows: \(1,299;\)1,229.99;\(1,193.08;\)1,279;\(1,224.95;\)1,229.99;\(1,269.95;\)1,249. Can you argue that pricing has a larger standard deviation than claimed by the manufacturer? Use the 5% significance level. As a potential buyer, what would be the practical conclusion from your analysis?

The number of births per woman in China is 1.6down from 5.91in 1966. This fertility rate has been attributed to the law passed in 1979restricting births to one per woman. Suppose that a group of students studied whether or not the standard deviation of births per woman was greater than 0.75. They asked 50women across China the number of births they had had. The results are shown in Table. Does the students’ survey indicate that the standard deviation is greater than 0.75?
