Question

The type of household for the U.S. population and for a random sample of 411 households from a community in Montana are shown below. Use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that the distribution of U.S. households fits the Dove Creek distribution. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. H_0: The distributions are different. H_1: The distributions are different. H_0: The distributions are different. H_1: The distributions are the same. H_0: The distributions are the same. H_1: The distributions are different. H_0: The distributions are the same. H_1: The distributions are the same. (b) Find the value of the chi-square statistic for the sample. (Round the expected frequencies to two decimal places. Round the test statistic to three decimal places.) Are all the expected frequencies greater than 5? Yes No
