Deck 13: Chi-Square Tests
1
A multinomial probability distribution describes data that are classified into two or more categories when a multinomial experiment is carried out.
True
2
A fastener manufacturing company uses a chi-square goodness-of-fit test to determine if a population of all lengths of ¼-inch bolts it manufactures is distributed according to a normal distribution. If we reject the null hypothesis, it is reasonable to assume that the population distribution is approximately normally distributed.
False
3
The chi-square goodness-of-fit test can only be used to test whether a population has specified multinomial probabilities or to test if a sample has been selected from a normally distributed population. It cannot be used if sample data come from other distribution forms, such as the Poisson.
False
4
When we carry out a chi-square test of independence, the expected frequencies are based on the null hypothesis.

In the past, of all the students enrolled in Basic Business Statistics, 10 percent earned an A, 20 percent earned a B, 30 percent earned a C, 20 percent earned a D, and the remainder failed the course. Dr. Johnson is a new professor teaching Basic Business Statistics for the first time this semester. At the conclusion of the semester, of his 60 students, 10 had earned an A, 20 a B, 20 a C, 5 a D, and 5 received an F. Assume that the class constitutes a random sample. Dr. Johnson wants to know if there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the grade distribution of his class is different from the historical grade distribution. At α = .05, test to determine if the grade distribution for this class is different from the historical grade distribution.

A U.S.-based company offers an online proficiency course in basic accounting. Completing this online course satisfies the Fundamentals of Accounting course requirement in many MBA programs. In the first semester, 315 students have enrolled in the course. The marketing research manager divided the country into seven regions of approximately equal population. The course enrollment values for each of the seven regions are given below. The management wants to know if there is equal interest in the course across all regions.
At a significance level of .05, test H0: the probabilities are equal for all seven regions.
