A researcher classifies firefighters according to whether their gloves fit well or poorly and by gender. They want to know if there is a difference in the proportion of poorly fitted gloves and gender. At alpha = 0.01, use the chi-square test to determine if there is a difference in the population proportion of glove fitness for the two genders. Observed data Males Females Total
Gloves fit poorly 132 20 152
Gloves fit well 415 19 434
Total 547 39 586
Expected data Males Females Total
Gloves fit poorly
Gloves fit well
Total

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The objective is to test if the proportion of "X: gloves fitness, categorized: Fit poorly and Fit well" is the same for two populations of interest, "male firefighters" and "female firefighters"

To do this you have to conduct a Chi-Square test of Homogeneity.

In the null hypothesis you have to state that the proportion of the  categories of the variable are the same for all the populations of interest.

Be

M: the firefighter is male

F: the firefighter is female

Y: represents the category that the gloves "fit poorly"

W: represents the category that the gloves "fit well"

The null hypothesis will be:

H₀: P(Y|M)=P(Y|F)=P(Y)

P(W|M)=P(W|F)=P(W)

H₁: At least one of the statements in the null hypothesis is false.

α: 0.01

To calculate the statistic under the null hypothesis you have to calculate the expected frequencies first:

O.j= total of the j-column

Oi.= total of the i-row

n= total of observations

r= number of rows (in this case 2)

c=number of columns (in this case 2)

Using the critical value approach, you have to remember that this test is always one-tailed to the right, meaning that you'll have only one critical value from which the rejection region is defined:

The decision rule is then:

If ≥ 6.635, reject the null hypothesis.

If < 6.635, do not reject the null hypothesis.

The calculated value is greater than the critical value, the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

So at a 1% level you can conclude that this test is significant. This means that the proportions of gloves fitness, categorized in "Fit poorly" and "Fit well" are different for the male and female firefighters populations.

I hope this helps!

The Chi - Square Test Statistics is  13.98

p-value = 0.0002

CONCLUSION: Since the p-value is less than the level of significance ; (i.e p-value < ∝) we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis.

Thus; there is a difference in the population proportion of glove fitness for the two genders.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given ; the structure of the table can be well represented as follows;

Observed data                  Males                    Females             Total

Gloves fit poorly                132                         20                       152

Gloves fit well                    415                         19                        434

Total                                   547                        39                       586

Expected data                  Males                   Females              Total

Gloves fit poorly

Gloves fit well

Total

The objective of this question is to  use the chi-square test to determine if there is a difference in the population proportion of glove fitness for the two genders.

We call represent the hypothesis as follows:

The null hypothesis: states that there is no difference  in the population proportion of glove fitness for the two genders.

The alternative hypothesis: states that there is difference  in the population proportion of glove fitness for the two genders.

The expected frequency of a particular cell can be calculated by multiplying the sum of the rows and columns together, then dividing it by the Total sum

For row 1 column 1 (gloves fit poorly (male) ; we have:

For row 2 column 1 (gloves fit well(male) ; we have:

For row 1 column 2 (gloves fit poorly (female)) ; we have:

For row 2 column 2 ( gloves fit well ( female ) ; we have:

Thus; we can have the complete table to now be:

Observed data                  Males                    Females             Total

Gloves fit poorly                132                         20                       152

Gloves fit well                    415                         19                        434

Total                                   547                        39                       586

Expected data                  Males                   Females              Total

Gloves fit poorly                141.884                 10.116                  152

Gloves fit well                    405.116                28.884                 434

Total                                    547                        39                     586

The Chi - Square Test Statistics can be calculated via the formula:

where;

= observed data frequency

= expected data frequency

∴

The Chi - Square Test Statistics is as follows:

= 0.68+9.6+0.2+3.5

= 13.98

We are given the level of significance ∝  to be = 0.01

numbers of rows = 2; number of column = 2

Thus; the degree of freedom = (2-1)(2-1) = 1×1 = 1

Using the Excel Function : [ = CHISQ.DIST.RT²(X²,df)]

p-value = 0.0002

CONCLUSION: Since the p-value is less than the level of significance ; (i.e p-value < ∝) we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis.

Thus; there is a difference in the population proportion of glove fitness for the two genders.

step-by-step explanation: 4 cause 2+2=4

the answer is:

the correct option is the option b.

to calculate the surface area of the right cylinder, we need to use the following formula:

from the picture we know that:

so, substituting and calculting we have:

hence, we have that the correct option is the option b.

have a nice day!
