The data will be analyzed to determine if they provide sufficient evidence to conclude that an association exists between car color and the likelihood of being in an accident.

$\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|}
\hline & \text { Red } & \text { Blue } & \text { White } \
\hline \text { Car has been in an accident } & 28 & 33 & 36 \
\hline \begin{array}{c}
\text { Car has not been in an } \
\text { accident }
\end{array} & 23 & 22 & 30 \
\hline
\end{array}$
A) $H _ { 0 }$ : Accidents and car color are independent.
$H _ { A }$ : Accidents and car color are not related.

B) $H _ { 0 }$ : Accidents and car color are related.
$H _ { A }$ : Accidents and car color are not related.

C) $H _ { 0 }$ : Accidents and car color are not related.
$H _ { A }$ : Accidents and car color are not dependent.

D) $H _ { 0 }$ : Accidents are uniformly distributed over the car colors.
$H _ { A }$ : Accidents are not uniformly distributed over the car colors.

E) $H _ { 0 }$ : Accidents and car color are independent.
$H _ { A }$ : Accidents and car color are not independent.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct hypothesis pair is E because it correctly states the null hypothesis ($H_0$) as accidents and car color being independent, and the alternative hypothesis ($H_A$) as accidents and car color not being independent, which is the standard way to set up hypotheses for testing independence in a contingency table.
