A manager for an insurance company believes that customers have the following preferences for life insurance products: 30% prefer Whole Life, 30% prefer Universal Life, and 40% prefer Life Annuities. The results of a survey of 330 customers were tabulated. Is it possible to refute the sales manager's claimed proportions of customers who prefer each product using the data?
| Product | Number |
|---|---|
| Whole | 109 |
| Universal | 96 |
| Annuities | 125 |
Step 1 of 10:
State the null and alternative hypothesis.
Answer
H0H0: Preferences for life insurance products are not as per the manager's belief.
HaHa: Preferences for life insurance products are as per the manager's belief.
H0H0: Preferences for life insurance products are as per the manager's belief.
HaHa: Preferences for life insurance products are not as per the manager's belief.
Step 2 of 10:
What does the null hypothesis indicate about the proportions of customers who prefer each insurance product?
Answer
The proportions of customers who prefer each insurance product are all thought to be equal.
The proportions of customers who prefer each insurance product are different for each category (and equal to the previously accepted values).
State the null and alternative hypothesis in terms of the expected proportions for each category.
H0H0: pWhole=pWhole=, pUniversal=pUniversal=, pAnnuities=pAnnuities=HaHa: There is some difference amongst the proportions.
Step 4 of 10:
Find the expected value for the number of customers who prefer Whole Life. Round your answer to two decimal places.
ind the expected value for the number of customers who prefer Universal Life. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Step 6 of 10:
Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places
Step 7 of 10:
Find the degrees of freedom associated with the test statistic for this problem.
Find the critical value of the test at the 0.05 level of significance. Round your answer to three decimal places.
Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis at the 0.05 level of significance.
Fail to Reject Null Hypothesis Reject Null Hypothesis
Step 10 of 10:
State the conclusion of the hypothesis test at the 0.05 level of significance.
There is not enough evidence to refute the manager's claim about the proportions of customers who prefer each product.
