-Referring to Table 10-20, if a level of significance of 0.05 is chosen, the null hypothesis should be rejected.

Question

TABLE 10-20
A hotel chain has identically sized resorts in five locations. The data that follow resulted from analyzing the hotel occupancies on randomly selected days in the five locations.
 
-Referring to Table 10-20, if a level of significance of 0.05 is chosen, the null hypothesis should be rejected.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Based on the analysis in Table 10-20, the calculated chi-square value exceeds the critical value for a level of significance of 0.05 (i.e. the p-value is less than 0.05). Therefore, the null hypothesis of equal hotel occupancies in the five locations is rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis of unequal occupancies.
