Exam 12: Chi-Square and Nonparametric

SCENARIO 12-6 According to an article in Marketing News, fewer checks are being written at the grocery store checkout than in the past. To determine whether there is a difference in the proportion of shoppers who pay by check among three consecutive years at a 0.05 level of significance, the results of a survey of 500 shoppers in three consecutive years are obtained and presented below. -Referring to Scenario 12-6, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the proportions between year 1 and year 3 are different at a 0.05 level of significance.

SCENARIO 12-13 Recent studies have found that American children are more obese than in the past. The amount of time children spent watching television has received much of the blame. A survey of 100 ten-year- olds revealed the following with regards to weights and average number of hours a day spent watching television. We are interested in testing whether the mean number of hours spent watching TV and weights are independent at 1% level of significance. -Referring to Scenario 12-13, if there is no connection between weights and average number of hours spent watching TV, we should expect how many children to be spending 3-6 hours on Average watching TV and are more than 10 lbs. underweight?

A survey of 1,000 children reveals the following information on average time spent watching TV and average time spent reading storybooks -Referring to Scenario 12-12, we want to test whether there is any relationship between average time spent watching TV and average time spent reading storybooks. Suppose the value of the test Statistic was 164 (which is not the correct answer) and the critical value was 19.00 (which is not The correct answer), then we could conclude that
