Data from the Motor Vehicle Department indicate that 80% of all licensed drivers are older than age 25. Information on the age of n = 50 people who recently received speeding tickets was sourced by researchers who are interested in whether the age distribution for the sample of drivers who recently received speeding tickets is different from the age distribution for the population of licensed drivers.

Question::
State your proposed analysis and why you chose that analysis.
Chi Square Test of Goodness of Fit will be used for the analysis because the variable under study: the age distribution for the drivers is categorical.
H0:Null Hypothesis: the age distribution for the sample of drivers who recently received speeding tickets is not different from the age distribution for the population of licensed drivers.
HA: Alternative Hypothesis: the age distribution for the sample of drivers who recently received speeding tickets is different from the age distribution for the population of licensed drivers. (Claim)
Question:
State the scales of measurement (e.g. nominal) that will be used in the analysis.
The scale of measurement of the age distribution for the drivers is ordinal scale of measurement , because the various categories of age distribution for the drivers can be ordered.from lowest to highest.
