The null hypothesis being tested by a test of homogeneity is that the distribution of proportions is the same for each of the subpopulations.
Indicate whether the statement is true or false
Q. 2Which of the following correctly describes experiments?
a. They are two random events, A and B, such that the probability of one event is not affected by the occurrence of the other event; therefore, P(A) = P(AB).
b. They are different events that have no outcomes in common.
c. They are activities that result in one and only one of several clearly defined possible outcomes and that do not allow us to tell in advance which of these will prevail in any particular instance.
d. All of the above.
e. None of these.
Q. 3The charts for both the multinomial experiment and the contingency table must be set in such a way that each piece of data will fall into exactly one of the categories.
Indicate whether the statement is true or false
Q. 4A useful graphical method of displaying the sample space for an experiment is:
a. a tree diagram
b. a box plot
c. a histogram
d. a scatterplot
e. a barplot
Q. 5The observed frequency of a cell should not be allowed to be smaller than 5 when a chi-square test of homogeneity is being conducted.
Indicate whether the statement is true or false
Q. 6The set of all simple events of an experiment is called:
a. a compound event
b. a sample space
c. a population
d. a random sample
e. all of these
Q. 7The chi-square test of homogeneity is used when the two categorical variables in the contingency table are controlled by the experimenter so that the row (or column) totals are predetermined.
Indicate whether the statement is true or false
