8) What type of analysis would you use to determine whether students represent five selected counties in roughly equal proportions, a university official randomly selects a group of 95 university students and finds that 60 of them came from the 5-county area. The distribution of the students across the five counties is given below. Options
Independent Samples t-test |
||
Dependent Samples t-test |
||
Oneway Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) |
||
Correlation |
||
Chi-Square Goodness of Fit (One Sample Chi-Square) |
||
Chi-Square Test of Indpendence |
Card County | Mountain View County |
Stirling County | Garden County | Welling County |
15 | 8 | 12 | 10 | 15 |
Ans:
Chi-square Goodness of fit
Observed(fo) | Expected(fe) | (fo-fe)^2/fe | |
Card country | 15 | 12 | 0.75 |
Mountain view | 8 | 12 | 1.33 |
Stirling County | 12 | 12 | 0.00 |
Garden County | 10 | 12 | 0.33 |
welling County | 15 | 12 | 0.75 |
Total | 60 | 60 | 3.17 |
Test statistic:
Chi square=3.17
df=5-1=4
Assume alpha=0.05
critical chi square=CHIINV(0.05,4)=9.488
As,test statistic is less than critical value,so we fail to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that students represent five selected counties in roughly equal proportions.
