What is the correct statistical test to use?
Select an answer Homogeneity Goodness-of-Fit Paired t-test
Independence
What are the null and alternative hypotheses?
H0:H0:
Phone calls and days of the week are dependent.
The distribution of phone calls is uniform over the days of the week.
The distribution of phone calls is not uniform over the days of the week.
Phone calls and days of the week are independent.
H1:H1:
The distribution of phone calls is uniform over the days of the week.
Phone calls and days of the week are independent.
Phone calls and days of the week are dependent.
The distribution of phone calls is not uniform over the days of the week.
The degrees of freedom =
The test-statistic for this data = (Please show your
answer to three decimal places.)
The p-value for this sample = (Please show your answer to four
decimal places.)
The p-value is Select an answer less than (or equal to) greater
than αα
Based on this, we should Select an answer accept the null reject the null fail to reject the null
Thus, the final conclusion is...
There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the distribution of phone calls is not uniform over the days of the week.
There is insufficient evidence to conclude that phone calls and days of the week are dependent.
