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. Type of Household Percent of U.S. Households Observed Number of Households in the Community Married with children 26% 93 Married, no children 29% 112 Single parent 9% 34 One person 25% 103 Other (e.g., roommates, siblings) 11% 69 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. H0: The distributions are the same. H1: The distributions are the same. H0: The distributions are different. H1: The distributions are different. H0: The distributions are the same. H1: The distributions are different. H0: The distributions are different. H1: 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.)
the null and alternate hypotheses
H0: The distributions are the same.
H1: The distributions are different
Type of Household | Percent of U.S. | Observed Number | Expected (E=np) | (O-E)^2/E |
Married with children | 0.26 | 93 | 106.86 | 1.797675 |
Married, no children | 0.29 | 112 | 119.19 | 0.433729 |
Single parent | 0.09 | 34 | 36.99 | 0.24169 |
One person | 0.25 | 103 | 102.75 | 0.000608 |
Other (e.g., roommates, siblings) | 0.11 | 69 | 45.21 | 12.51856 |
Sum | n=411 |
