During the first 13 weeks of the television season, the Saturday evening 8 p. m. to 9 p. m. audience proportions were recorded as ABC 30%, CBS 27%, NBC 26%, and independents 17%. A sample of 300 homes two weeks after a Saturday night schedule revision yielded the following viewing audience data:
ABC 94 homes, CBS 71 homes, NBC 88 homes, and independents 47 homes.
1. Test with α = 0.05 to determine whether the viewing audience proportions changed.2. State the null and alternative hypotheses.
3. Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)4. Find the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Part 1: Do not reject H0. There has not been a significant change in the viewing audience proportions.(The above conclusion holds as the p-value is greater than the significance level of 0.05)

Part 2:

H0:

Ha:  

Part 3: The test statistic is given as 3.0081.

Part 4: The p-value is given as  0.39037

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the data

Part 2

H0:

Ha:  

Part 3

As per the sample is of 300 homes, the expected values are given as

ABC=p(ABC)*300=0.30*300=90

CBS=p(CBS)*300=0.27*300=81

NBC=p(NBC)*300=0.26*300=78

IND=p(IND)*300=0.17*300=51

Now the values actually are given as

ABC=94

CBS=71

NBC=88

IND=47

So the test static is given as

So the test statistic is given as 3.0081.

Part 4

Now the degree of freedoms are given as 4-1=3

and chi square  is given as 3.0081 so for α = 0.05 , the p-value is given as  0.39037

Part 1.

As the value of p in part 4 is greater than the value of α = 0.05, thus Do not reject H0. There has not been a significant change in the viewing audience proportions.(The above conclusion holds as the p-value is greater than the significance level of 0.05)

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
