A: Perform a Chi-Square Test for
Goodness of Fit

According
to Mars, Inc. the distribution of colors in a bag of M&M Plain was 13%
brown, 14% yellow, 13% red, 20% orange, 16% green and 24% blue. Peanut was 12%
brown, 15% yellow, 12% red, 23% orange, 15% green and 23% blue. Dark Chocolate was 17% brown, 17% yellow, 17%
red, 16% orange, 16% green and 17% blue.

·
Purchase
a bag of one of these M&M’s (at least 8 oz.), and record the observed
frequencies for different colors of the candy along with the expected
percentage (Write as a decimal.) for each color.
·
Using
a 5% level of significance (.0/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image002.gif”>), test the claimed distribution of colors. State the
hypothesis that is being tested. Perform
the Chi Square Test for Goodness of Fit and clearly state your conclusion. Include a sketch as on p. 545 to show your
critical region,.0/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image004.gif”>, the test statistic, and.0/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image006.gif”>, the critical value.

Return
to Lab 4 where you made a contingency table with the qualitative variable (V1) and one of quantitative
variables (V2). For
example:

Democrat

Others

Younger
Senators

Older
Senators

·
Find
the row and column sums and compute the expected frequencies for each of the
four cells in the table.
·
Using
a 5% level of significance (.0/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image002.gif”>), test the two variables for independence. State the
hypothesis that is being tested. Perform
the Chi-Square Independence Test and clearly state your conclusion. Include a sketch to show your critical
region,.0/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image004.gif”>, the test statistic, and.0/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image006.gif”>, the critical value.
