Conditional Relative Frequencies In Exercises 37–42, use the contingency table from Exercises 33–36, and the information below.
Relative frequencies can also be calculated based on the row totals (by dividing each row entry by the row’s total) or the column totals (by dividing each column entry by the column’s total). These frequencies are conditional relative frequencies and can be used to determine whether an association exists between two categories in a contingency table.


What percent of U.S. adults ages 25 and over who are not high school graduates are unemployed?

Testing for Normality Using a chi-square goodness-of-fit test, you can decide, with some degree of certainty, whether a variable is normally distributed. In all chi-square tests for normality, the null and alternative hypotheses are as listed below.

H₀: The variable has a normal distribution.

Hₐ: The variable does not have a normal distribution.

To determine the expected frequencies when performing a chi-square test for normality, first estimate the mean and standard deviation of the frequency distribution. Then, use the mean and standard deviation to compute the z-score for each class boundary. Then, use the z-scores to calculate the area under the standard normal curve for each class. Multiplying the resulting class areas by the sample size yields the expected frequency for each class.In Exercises 17 and 18, (a) find the expected frequencies, (b) find the critical value and identify the rejection region, (c) find the chi-square test statistic, (d) decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis, and (e) interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.

In Exercises 17 and 18, (a) find the expected frequencies, (b) find the critical value and identify the rejection region, (c) find the chi-square test statistic, (d) decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis, and (e) interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.

Test Scores At α=0.01, test the claim that the 200 test scores shown in the frequency distribution are normally distributed.

"Finding a Critical F-Value for a Right-Tailed Test In Exercises 5–8, find the critical F-value for a right-tailed test using the level of significance α and degrees of freedom d.f.N and d.f.D.

α=0.05, d.f.N=9, d.f.D=16"

Describe the hypotheses for a two-way ANOVA test.

"Finding a Critical F-Value for a Two-Tailed Test In Exercises 9–12, find the critical F-value for a two-tailed test using the level of significance α and degrees of freedom d.f.N and d.f.D.

α=0.05, d.f.N=27, d.f.D=19"

Contingency Tables and Relative Frequencies In Exercises 33–36, use the information below.

The frequencies in a contingency table can be written as relative frequencies by dividing each frequency by the sample size. The contingency table below shows the number of U.S. adults (in millions) ages 25 and over by employment status and educational attainment. (Adapted from U.S. Census Bureau)

What percent of U.S. adults ages 25 and over (a) are employed and are only high school graduates, (b) are not in the civilian labor force, and (c) are not high school graduates?

"Finding a Critical F-Value for a Right-Tailed Test In Exercises 5–8, find the critical F-value for a right-tailed test using the level of significance α and degrees of freedom d.f.N and d.f.D.
