1.  Calculate the expected values for the cells marked A, B, and C in the following table: (2 points) 

A  104 B  170 

C  112 120  144  122  386 

2.  You decide to research a certain topic. You collect data and organize them into a 5 X 7 table. You find that a chi­square test would be valid for your data, and find that this table has a X 2 of 34.5. 

A.  What conclusion would you draw about the relationship between these two variables if α = .05? (2 points) 

B.  What conclusion would you draw about the relationship between these two variables if α = .10? (2 points) 

3.  Calculate degrees of freedom, X 2 , and an exact P­value for the following table: (2 points) 

79  93 103  44 68  99 

4.  You want to know if there's an association between college students' spring break destinations and what year they're in. You take a random sample of 405 college students and record the following data: 

Amusement Parks  Mexico  Home  Other 

Freshman  23  21  43  21 Sophomore  34  23  14  26 Junior  25  30  23  26 Senior  27  33  17  19 

A.  Set up your null and alternative hypotheses. (2 points) 

B.  What are your degrees of freedom? (2 points) 

C.  Using your TI­83, compute the expected values for each cell. (2 points) 

D.  Will a chi­square hypothesis test of independence be valid in this situation? Explain. (2 points) 

E.  What are your test statistic (X 2 ) and P­value? (2 points) 

F.  What can you conclude if α = .01? (2 points)

5.  A hotel wants to know if there's a relationship between gender and the way customers make room reservations. A manager takes a random sample of 160 reservations. She records whether they were made by a man or a woman, and also records how the reservation was made. She gets the following data: 

Phone  Fax  Email Men  28  9  37 

Women  45  12  29 

Perform a chi­square significance test of association with α = .05. Be sure to include your null and alternative hypotheses, a justification for the use of this test, your test statistic calculations, your P­value, and your conclusion. (5 points)
