FOR THE FIRST TWO BLANKS FOR h0 and ha select for each blank the choices listed************************

FIRST BLANK CHOOSE REJECT OR FAIL TO REJECT

SECOND BLANK CHOOSE IS OR IS NOT

LAST BLANK CHOOSE FROM

a)UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED

B)IS NOT UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED

C)DIFFERS FROM THE EXPECTED

D)IS THE SAME AS THE EXPECTED

  

A researcher claims that the number of homicide crimes by season is uniformly Season distributed. To test this claim you randomly select 1,195 homicides from a recent year Spring and record the season when each happened. The table shows the results. At o 0.05, Summer test the researcher's claim. Fall Winter State Ho and Ha and identify the claim. Ho: The distribution of the number of homicide crimes by season Ha: The distribution of the number of homicide crimes by season is not uniformly distributed. Which hypothesis is the claim? is uniformly distributed. n H. differs from the expected. Click to select your answer(s). is the same as the expected. Frequency, f 302 311 293 289

Explanation / Answer

Ho: The distribution of the number of homicide crimes season is uniformly distributed.

Ha: The distribution of the number of homicide crimes by season is not uniformly distributed.

Claim: Ho

Test Statistics:

X^2 = S (Oi – Ei)^2 / Ei

Oi = Observed values

Ei = Expected values

Oi: 302 311 293 289

Ei: (302+311+293+289)/4 = 298.75

X^2 = 0.967

P-value (excel formula) = chidist(0.967,3)

                                           = 0.809

P-value = 0.809

Here p-value is more than the level of significance; we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Fail to reject Ho. There is not enough evidence at the 5% level of significance to reject the claim that the distribution of the number of homicide crimes by season is the same as the expected.
