Choosing Lottery Numbers: In the Super-Mega lottery there are 50 numbers (1 to 50), a player chooses ten different numbers and hopes that these get drawn. If the player's numbers get drawn, he/she wins an obscene amount of money. The table below displays the frequency with which classes of numbers are chosen (not drawn). These numbers came from a sample of 180 chosen numbers.

Chosen Numbers (n = 180)

1 to 10 11 to 20 21 to 30 31 to 40 41 to 50
Count 42 54 27 34 23


The Test: Test the claim that all chosen numbers are not evenly distributed across the five classes. Test this claim at the 0.01 significance level.

(a) The table below is used to calculate the test statistic. Complete the missing cells.
Round your answers to the same number of decimal places as other entries for that column.

Chosen Observed Assumed Expected
i Numbers Frequency (Oi) Probability (pi) Frequency Ei
(OiEi)2
Ei
1 1 to 10 1 0.2 36.0 1.000
2 11 to 20 54 2 36.0 9.000
3 21 to 30 27 0.2 3 2.250
4 31 to 40 34 0.2 36.0 4
5 41 to 50 23 0.2 36.0 4.694
Σ n = 180 χ2 = 5

(b) What is the value for the degrees of freedom? 6
(c) What is the critical value of

χ2

? Use the answer found in the

χ2

-table or round to 3 decimal places.
tα = 7

(d) What is the conclusion regarding the null hypothesis?

reject H0 fail to reject H0    


(e) Choose the appropriate concluding statement.

We have proven that all chosen numbers are evenly distributed across the five classes. The data supports the claim that all chosen numbers are not evenly distributed across the five classes.      There is not enough data to support the claim that all chosen numbers are not evenly distributed across the five classes.

Solutions

Expert Solution

a). the completed table:-

Chosen Observed Assumed Expected
i Numbers Frequency (Oi) Probability (pi) Frequency Ei
(OiEi)2
Ei
1 1 to 10 42 0.2 36.0 1.000
2 11 to 20 54 1/5 = 0.2 36.0 9.000
3 21 to 30 27 0.2 (180*0.2) = 36 2.250
4 31 to 40 34 0.2 36.0
5 41 to 50 23 0.2 36.0 4.694
Σ n = 180 χ2 = 17.055

b). degrees of freedom:-

=(5-1) = 4

c). critical value of chi square = 13.277

( from chi square distribution table, for df= 4 , alpha=0.01)

d).the conclusion regarding the null hypothesis:- reject H0

[because here, chi square calculated = 17.055 > chi square critical = 13.277, so we reject the null hypothesis.]

e).the appropriate concluding statement be:-

The data supports the claim that all chosen numbers are not evenly distributed across the five classes.
