H0\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : The proportions of absences are all the same.
H1\mathrm { H } _ { 1 } : The proportions of absences are not all the same.
Test statistic: χ2=28.308\chi ^ { 2 } = 28.308 . Critical value: χ2=9.488\chi ^ { 2 } = 9.488 . Reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that absences occur on the different week days with the same frequency.

Test the claim that the samples come from populations with the same mean. Assume that the populations are normally distributed with the same variance. -Random samples of four different models of cars were selected and the gas mileage of each car was measured. The results are shown below. Model A Model B Model C Model D 23 28 30 25 25 26 28 26 24 29 32 25 26 30 27 28 Test the claim that the four different models have the same population mean. Use a significance level of 0.05.

Test statistic: F=6.435\mathrm { F } = 6.435 . Critical value: F=3.4903\mathrm { F } = 3.4903 . P-value: p=0.00762\mathrm { p } = 0.00762 .
Reject the claim of equal means. The different models do not appear to have the same mean.

Use a χ2\chi ^ { 2 } test to test the claim that in the given contingency table, the row variable and the column variable are independent. -Responses to a survey question are broken down according to employment status and the sample results are given below. At the 0.10 significance level, test the claim that response and employment status are independent. Yes No Undecided Employed 30 15 5 Unemployed 20 25 10

H0\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : Employment status and response are independent.
H1\mathrm { H } _ { 1 } : Employment status and response are dependent.
Test statistic: χ2=5.942\chi ^ { 2 } = 5.942 . Critical value: χ2=4.605\chi ^ { 2 } = 4.605 .
Reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that response and employment status are independent.

According to Benford's Law, a variety of different data sets include numbers with leading (first) digits that follow the distribution shown in the table below. Test for goodness-of-fit with Benford's Law. Leading Digit 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Benford's law: distribution of leading digits 30.1\% 17.6\% 12.5\% 9.7\% 7.9\% 6.7\% 5.8\% 5.1\% 4.6\% -When working for the Brooklyn District Attorney, investigator Robert Burton analyzed the leading digits of the amounts from 784 checks issued by seven suspect companies. The frequencies were found to be 0, 9, 0, 70, 485, 189, 8, 23, and 0, and those digits correspond to the leading digits of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, respectively. If the observed frequencies are substantially different from the frequencies expected with Benford's Law, the check amounts appear to result from fraud. Use a 0.05 significance level to test for goodness-of-fit with Benford's Law. Does it appear that the checks are the result of fraud?
