Activity 1

1. a. The null hypothesis H0: The population frequencies are equal to the expected frequencies.
b. The alternative hypothesis Ha: The null hypothesis is false
c. a=0.05
d. The degrees of freedom: k – 1 = 5 – 1 = 4
e. the test statistics can be calculated using the table below:
% of E O E-O (O-E)2 (O – E )2
shoppers E
A 20% 0.20X1100= 220 262 42 1764 8.018
B 20% 0.20X1100= 220 234 14 196 0.891
C 20% 0.20X1100= 220 204 -16 256 1.163
D 20% 0.20X1100= 220 190 -30 900 4.091
E 20% 0.20X1100= 220 210 -10 100 0.455
=14.618
f. from a = 0.05 and k – 1 = 4, the critical value is 9.49
g. is there enough evidence to reject Ho? Since X 2 14.618 >9.49, there is enough
statistical evidence to reject the null hypothesis

2. a. the null hypothesis Ho: each face is equally likely to be outcome of single roll.
b. the alternative hypothesis, Ha: the null hypothesis is false.
c. a= 0.05
d. the degree of freedom: k – 1 = 6 – 1 = 5
e. The test statistics can be calculated using the table below:
Outcomes E O E-O (O-E)2 (O – E )2
E
1 240/6= 40 34 -6 36 0.9
2 240/6= 40 44 4 16 0.4
3 240/6= 40 30 -10 100 2.5
4 240/6= 40 46 6 36 0.9
5 240/6= 40 51 11 121 0.03
6 240/6= 40 35 -5 25 0.63
=8.63
F. From a = 0.05 and k – 1 = 5, the critical value is 11.07
g. is there enough evidence to reject Ho? Since X 2 8.63<11.07, there is enough
statistical evidence to accept the null hypothesis
