Exercise 22

For Problems 5-14, please provide the following information.
(a) What is the level of significance State the null and alternate hypotheses.
(b) Find the value of the chi-square statistic for the sample. Are all the expected frequencies greater than 5 What sampling distribution will you use What are the degrees of freedom
(c) Find or estimate the P -value of the sample test statistic.
(d) Based on your answers in parts (a)-(c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis that the population fits the specified distribution of categories
(e) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.
Ecology: Deer The types of browse favored by deer are shown in the following table ( The Mule Deer of Mesa Verde National Park , edited by Mierau and Schmidt). Using binoculars, volunteers observed the feeding habits of a random sample of 320 deer.

Use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that the natural distribution of browse fits the deer feeding pattern.
