A group of 30-year-olds is interviewed to determine whether the type of music most listened to by people in their age category is independent of the geographic location of their residence. Use the chi-square test of independence, α = .01, and the following contingency table to determine whether music preference is independent of geographic location.

Type of Music Preferred


Geographic
Region
Rock R & B Country Classical
Northeast 140 32 5 18
South 134 41 52 8
West 154 27 8 13



(Round the intermediate values to 2 decimal places. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Observed  =
Type of music preferred is (not independent OR independent) of region of the country.

Solutions

Expert Solution

REGION : COUNTRY

CHI SQUARE TEST = 11.30+32.5+7.86 = 51.20

P VALUE FOR COUNTRY = 0

SO IT IS INDEPENDENT TO GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION OR REGION

Students were given a pre-test. Then after they listened to a certain type of music they were given a similar post test. If we define the difference as the post test score minus the pre test score and we find a 95% confidence interval for the mean of the differences to be [-1.34, 4.56]. Which of the following is true? It seems like music has affected the scores and the post test scores are significantly higher. It seems like music...

1.) Suppose heights of two-year-olds are normally distributed with a mean of 30 inches and a standard deviation of 3.5 inches. a) What is the probability that one two-year-old will be shorter than 28 inches? b) If random samples of size n = 40 two-year-olds are selected, what is the approximate shape, mean, and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means? c) What is the probability that the sample mean of these 40 two-year-olds will be shorter than...

A researcher is interested in whether music tastes differ by personality type. The table below presents the observed and expected frequencies. Does a statistically significant relationship exist between personality type and music preference? Conduct a hypothesis test to see. Follow the five-step model with an alpha level of 0.05. Make sure to go through each step and interpret the results in terms of the research question above. Round to twoplaces past the decimal point for your calculations and final answers....

On the planet of Mercury, 4-year-olds average 2.8 hours a day unsupervised. Most of the unsupervised children live in rural areas, considered safe. Suppose that the standard deviation is 1.5 hours and the amount of time spent alone is normally distributed. We randomly survey one Mercurian 4-year-old living in a rural area. We are interested in the amount of time X the child spends alone per day. (Source: San Jose Mercury News) Round all answers to 4 decimal places where...
