The following table shows site type and type of pottery for a random sample of 628 sherds at an archaeological location.
Pottery Type | ||||
Site Type | Mesa Verde Black-on-White |
McElmo Black-on-White |
Mancos Black-on-White |
Row Total |
Mesa Top | 76 | 63 | 50 | 189 |
Cliff-Talus | 85 | 73 | 55 | 213 |
Canyon Bench | 97 | 72 | 57 | 226 |
Column Total | 258 | 208 | 162 | 628 |
Use a chi-square test to determine if site type and pottery type are independent at the 0.01 level of significance.
(a) What is the level of significance?
State the null and alternate hypotheses.
H0: Site type and pottery are not
independent.
H1: Site type and pottery are not
independent.
H0: Site type and pottery are not
independent.
H1: Site type and pottery are
independent.
H0: Site type and pottery are
independent.
H1: Site type and pottery are not
independent.
H0: Site type and pottery are
independent.
H1: Site type and pottery are independent.
(b) Find the value of the chi-square statistic for the sample.
(Round the expected frequencies to at least three decimal places.
Round the test statistic to three decimal places.)
Are all the expected frequencies greater than 5?
Yes
No
What sampling distribution will you use?
normal
Student's t
uniform
binomial
chi-square
What are the degrees of freedom?
(c) Find or estimate the P-value of the sample test
statistic. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
p-value > 0.100
0.050 < p-value < 0.100
0.025 < p-value < 0.050
0.010 < p-value < 0.025
0.005 < p-value < 0.010
p-value < 0.005
(d) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or
fail to reject the null hypothesis of independence?
Since the P-value > α, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
Since the P-value > α, we reject the null hypothesis.
Since the P-value ≤ α, we reject the null hypothesis.
Since the P-value ≤ α, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
(e) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the
application.
At the 1% level of significance, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that site and pottery type are not independent.
At the 1% level of significance, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that site and pottery type are not independent.
(a) The Level of Significance is 0.01
The Hypothesis: Option 3
H0: Site Type and Pottery are Independent.
H1: Site Type and Pottery are Not Independent.

(b) The Test Statistic:
The Expected value table has been given after the test.
The Calculation of the test statistic is as below
# | Observed | Expected | (O-E) | (O-E)2 | (O-E)2/E |
1 | 76 | 77.646 | -1.646 | 2.709316 | 0.034893 |
2 | 85 | 87.506 | -2.506 | 6.280036 | 0.071767 |
3 | 97 | 92.847 | 4.153 | 17.24741 | 0.185762 |
4 | 63 | 62.599 | 0.401 | 0.160801 | 0.002569 |
5 | 73 | 70.548 | 2.452 | 6.012304 | 0.085223 |
6 | 72 | 74.854 | -2.854 | 8.145316 | 0.108816 |
7 | 50 | 48.755 | 1.245 | 1.550025 | 0.031792 |
8 | 55 | 54.946 | 0.054 | 0.002916 | 5.31E-05 |
9 | 57 | 58.299 | -1.299 | 1.687401 | 0.028944 |
Total | 0.550 |
= 0.550
Yes, All expected frequencies are greater than 5.
We use the Chi Square Distribution.
The Degrees of freedom = (r-1) * (c-1) = (3-1) * (3-1) = 2 * 2 = 4
________________________________
(c) The p value at = 0.550 is 0.9685
Therefore the range of the p values is Option 1: p value is > 0.100
_________________________________
(d) Option 1: Since p value is > , we fail to reject the null hypothesis
_________________________________
(e) Option 2: At the 1% level of significance, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that site and pottery type are not independent.
