Making And Testing Hypothesis With Chi-Square Test
Question
A business analyst is studying trends related to university majors in the United States. Specifically, she is interested in the enrollment proportions for various majors, and which majors are the most popular. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), the distribution of granted degrees by program category is given in the table below.
|
Major |
Percentage of Degrees |
|
Business Administration (All) |
19.7 |
|
Other Major |
29.1 |
|
Biological and Biomedical Sciences |
3.2 |
|
Social Sciences |
5.2 |
|
Visual and Performing Arts |
3.8 |
|
Health Science |
12.7 |
|
Education |
9.2 |
|
Engineering |
3.5 |
|
Liberal Arts and General Studies |
9.6 |
|
Psychology |
4 |
|
Grand Total |

The analyst finds that in the 2012 General Social Survey, the observed numbers of persons
(a total of 359) graduating with degrees in these programs are as follows:
|
Major |

Grand Total |
359 |
The analyst wants to determine if the distribution of degrees granted in 2012 differs from the distribution that NCES claims. She will use the chi-squared goodness-of-fit test.
a). State the null and alternative hypotheses that will be tested (convert the percentagesas probabilities).
b). The output from a computer program used to run the test is given below. Chi-squared test for given probabilities data: c(75, 95, 8, 31, 14, 43, 49, 22, 13, 9) X-squared = 40.6562, df = 9, p-value = 5.776e-06 Show the last two (2)--and only the last two-- calculations involved in the computation of the test statistic.
c). State the conclusion in the context of the problem, based either on the rejection region or p-value approach, at the 0.05 level.
Summary
The question belongs to Statistics and it discusses about making a hypothesis and using chi square test to test the hypothesis.

The care and patience with which the online Labor Economics expert at HwA guided me through the assignment topic was simply amazing. She was always ready with the solutions to my queries and incorporated any suggestions that I made into the Labor Economics Assignment essay. It was just the guidance I needed to write my Labor economics assignment.

I had a very bad calculus background and for that reason I was unable to deal with the difficult sums given in the process control assignments. However, luckily for me I came across HwA and since then, never had to worry about these assignments any more.
Jon Owen Student
I needed someone with the knowledge of the subject of Atomic Theory to write my research paper and not just produce an essay with generic copy-paste material gotten from the internet. Even though I was a bit apprehensive to use an online service for writing my atomic theory research paper I must say TheReliableTutor with their panel of excellent chemistry experts put my fears to ease. I will definitely recommend you to my friends.
Edward Dempsey Student
I was really stuck with my signal processing assignment in my third year of engineering and needed serious help. It was then when I came across this wonderful website. The experts here are open to suggestions and unassuming and instead of a situation where they act like they know everything (as in the case of most online tutoring websites) they listened to me and helped me out. I really liked what they did with all my assignments and most importantly helped me get good grades.
Ann Wood Student
As a foreign student new to the methods of teaching in the States I desperately needed some personal tutoring with the topics of Stats for my graduate level program. HwA broke my misconception about online services being good only for school students and undergrads by providing me with excellent online stats tutoring for my Masters level requirements.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
