Among the four northwestern states, Washington has 51% of the total population, Oregon has 30%, Idaho has 11%, and Montana has 8%. A market researcher selects a sample of 1000 subjects, with 450 in Washington, 340 in Oregon, 150 in Idaho, and 60 in Montana. At the 0.05 significance level, test the claim that the sample of 100 subjects has a distribution that agrees with the distribution of state populations.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as follows:

The sample have a distribution that agrees with the distribution of state populations.

The sample have a distribution that does not agrees with the distribution of state populations.

The Chi-Square test statistics

Among the four northwestern states, Washington has 51% of the total population, Oregon has 30%, Idaho has 11%, and Montana has 8%. A market researcher selects a sample of 1000 subjects, with 450 in Washington, 340 in Oregon, 150 in Idaho, and 60 in Montana.

The observed and the expected value can be computed as follows:

States           Observed           Expected                        

Washington     450             0.51 × 1000 = 510

Oregon            340              0.30 × 1000 = 300

Idaho                150               0.11  × 1000 = 110

Montana             60              0.08 × 1000 = 80

Total                 1000                                1000

For washington :

7.06

For Oregon

5.33

For Idaho

For Montana

.00

The Chi-square test statistics for the observed and the expected value can be computed as follows:

States           Observed           Expected                        

Washington     450             0.51 × 1000 = 510                  7.06

Oregon            340              0.30 × 1000 = 300                5.33

Idaho                150               0.11  × 1000 = 110                 14.55

Montana             60              0.08 × 1000 = 80                  5.00

Total                 1000                                1000                 31.94

The Chi-square Statistics Test

Degree of freedom = n -  1

Degree of freedom = 4 - 1

Degree of freedom = 3

At 0.05 level of significance, the critical value of :

= 7.815

Decision Rule: To reject null hypothesis if the test statistics is greater than the critical value

Conclusion: We reject the null hypothesis since test statistics is greater than critical value, therefore, we conclude that there is sufficient information to say that the sample has a distribution that does not agrees with the distribution of state populations.

irrational, then, just means all the numbers that aren't rational. every integer is a rational number, since each integer n can be written in the form n/1. however, numbers like 1/2, 45454737/2424242, and -3/7 are also rational, since they are fractions whose numerator and denominator are integers.
