Question

A newspaper article indicated that 43 percent of cars with black seats are white, 46 percent of cars with black seats are blue, 7 percent of cars with black seats are red, and 4 percent of cars with black seats are black. A test was conducted to investigate whether the color of cars with black seats was consistent with the newspaper article. A random sample of cars of these colors was selected, and the value of the chi-square test statistic was x = 8.2. Which of the following represents the p-value for the test?
A) P(x2 ≥ 8.2) = 0.08
B) P(x2 ≥ 8.2) = 0.04
C) P(x2 ≤ 8.2) = 0.96
D) P (x2 = 8.2) = 0.00
E) The p-value cannot be calculated because the sample size is not given.

Answer 1

Answer:

P(χ2≥8.2)=0.04

Step-by-step explanation:

Just took the test. This was correct

Answer 2

Answer:

C) P (X2 ≤ 8.2) = 0.96

Step-by-step explanation:

P value for the test is the probability of obtaining results that have been observed in the null hypothesis statement. A very small value of p indicates that there is unlikely chance of null hypothesis being true which means that we cannot accept null hypothesis based on the small p value.
