A survey was conducted to determine by age group the number of registered voters who cast ballots during the recent elections. The table above was the data recorded.
a. Using α = 0.01, perform a chi-square test to determine if the proportion of voters who cast ballots during the elections differs among the five groups of voters.
b. Determine the p-value using Excel (and Table 8 of Appendix A, page 861) and interpret its meaning.
c. Confirm your results using PhStat.
d. How does age appear to relate to the likelihood that a voter will cast a ballot during the elections?
