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
independent.
H1: Site type and pottery are not
independent.H0: Site type and pottery are not
independent.
H1: Site type and pottery are not
independent. H0: Site
type and pottery are independent.
H1: Site type and pottery are
independent.H0: Site type and pottery are not
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?
uniform
binomial chi-square
normal
Student's t
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.
Ans:
a)level of significance=0.01
H0: Site type and pottery are
independent.
H1: Site type and pottery are not
independent.
