In: Statistics and Probability
Advertisers need to know which age groups are likely to see
their ads. Purchasers of 120 copies of Cosmopolitan are
shown by age group.
Purchaser Age | Units Sold | ||
18–24 | 38 | ||
25–34 | 28 | ||
35–44 | 19 | ||
45–54 | 16 | ||
55–64 | 10 | ||
65+ | 9 | ||
Total | 120 | ||
(a) Calculate the chi-square test statistic,
degrees of freedom, and the p-value. Assume the expected
frequencies are equal. (Perform a uniform goodness-of-fit
test. Round your test statistic value to 2 decimal places and the
p-value to 4 decimal places.)

(b) Choose the correct answer. (You may
select more than one answer. Click the box with a check mark for
the correct answer and double click to empty the box for the wrong
answer.)
(c) At α = .01, this sample contradicts
the assumption that readership is uniformly distributed among these
six age groups.

Most purchases are by the 18-24 age group
The least purchases are by the 65+ age group
