3. 3/71 STATISTICS in PRACTICE United Way of Greater Rochester is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for people. Because of enormous volunteer involvement, United Way of Greater Rochester is able to hold its operating costs at just eight cents of every dollar raised.

4. 4/71 STATISTICS in PRACTICE One of statistical tests was to determine whether perceptions of administrative expenses were independent of occupation. In this chapter, you will learn how a statistical test of independence.

5. 5/71 Hypothesis (Goodness of Fit) Test for Proportions of a Multinomial Population Consider the case that each element of a population is assigned to one and only one of several classes or categories. Such a population is a multinomial population( 多項母體 ). We want to test if the population follows a multinominal distribution with specified probabilities for each of the k categories.

6. 6/71 Hypothesis Test for Proportions of a Multinomial Population-- Procedures 1.Set up the null and alternative hypotheses. 2.Select a random sample and record the observed frequency, f i, for each of the k categories. 3.Assuming H 0 is true, compute the expected frequency, e i, in each category by multiplying the category probability by the sample size.

7. 7/71 4. Compute the value of the test statistic. f i = observed frequency for category i e i = expected frequency for category i k = number of categories where: Hypothesis Test for Proportions of a Multinomial Population-- Procedures Note: The test statistic has a chi-square distribution with (k – 1) df provided that the expected frequencies are 5 or more for all categories.

8. 8/71 where  is the significance level and there are k - 1 degrees of freedom p-value approach : Critical value approach: Reject H 0 if p -value <  5. Rejection rule: Reject H 0 if Hypothesis Test for Proportions of a Multinomial Population-- Procedures

9. 9/71 Hypothesis (Goodness of Fit) Test for Proportions of a Multinomial Population Example: The market share study being conducted by Scott Marketing Research. Over the past year market shares stabilized at 30% for company A, 50% for company B, and 20% for company C. Recently company C developed a “new and improved” product to replace its current entry in the market. Company C retained Scott Marketing Research to determine whether the new product will alter market shares.

10. 10/71 Hypothesis (Goodness of Fit) Test for Proportions of a Multinomial Population Scott Marketing Research conduct a sample survey and compute the proportion preferring each company’s product. A hypothesis test will then be conducted to see whether the new product caused a change in market shares. The null and alternative hypotheses are

11. 11/71 Hypothesis (Goodness of Fit) Test for Proportions of a Multinomial Population Perform a goodness of fit test that will determine whether the sample of 200 customer purchase preferences is consistent with the null hypothesis. Data

12. 12/71 Hypothesis (Goodness of Fit) Test for Proportions of a Multinomial Population Expected: the expected frequency for each category is found by multiplying the sample size of 200 by the hypothesized proportion for the category.

14. 14/71 Hypothesis (Goodness of Fit) Test for Proportions of a Multinomial Population p-Value Approach The test statistic χ 2 = 7.34 and 5.991 < 7.34 < 7.378. Thus, the corresponding upper tail area or p-value must be between.05 and.025. with p-value <.05, we reject H 0. Minitab or Excel can be used to show χ 2 = 7.34 provides a p-value =.0255.

15. 15/71 Hypothesis (Goodness of Fit) Test for Proportions of a Multinomial Population Critical Value Approach With α =.05 and 2 degrees of freedom, the critical value for the test statistic is = 5.991. The upper tail rejection rule becomes Reject H 0 if χ 2 > 5.991 With 7.34 > 5.991, we reject H 0. Comparisons of the observed and expected frequencies for the other two companies indicate that company C’s gain in market share will hurt company A more than company B.

16. 16/71 Hypothesis (Goodness of Fit) Test for Proportions of a Multinomial Population Note: The chi-square test is an approximate test and the test result may not be valid when the expected value for a category is less than 5. If one or more categories have expected values less than 5, you can combine them with adjacent categories to achieve the minimum required expected value.

17. 17/71 Multinomial Distribution Goodness of Fit Test Example: Finger Lakes Homes (A) Finger Lakes Homes manufactures four models of prefabricated homes, a two-story colonial, a log cabin, a split-level, and an A-frame. To help in production planning, management would like to determine if previous customer purchases indicate that there is a preference in the style selected.

22. 22/71 Multinomial Distribution Goodness of Fit Test Conclusion Using the p-Value Approach The p-value < . We can reject the null hypothesis. Because χ 2 = 10 is between 9.348 and 11.345, the area in the upper tail of the distribution is between.025 and.01. Area in Upper Tail.10.05.025.01.005  2 Value (df = 3) 6.251 7.815 9.348 11.345 12.838

23. 23/71 Conclusion Using the Critical Value Approach Multinomial Distribution Goodness of Fit Test We reject, at the.05 level of significance, the assumption that there is no home style preference. χ 2 = 10 > 7.815

24. 24/71 Test of Independence: Contingency Tables( 列聯表） Another important application of the chi- square distribution involves using sample data to test for the independence of two variables. Contingency table is a table that lists all possible combinations of the two variables.

25. 25/71 Test of Independence: Contingency Tables Example: A test of independence addresses the question of whether the beer preference (light, regular, or dark) is independent of the gender of the beer drinker (male, female). If the independence assumption is valid, we argue that the fraction of drinking light beer, regular beer and dark beer must be applicable to both male and female beer drinker.

26. 26/71 Test of Independence: Contingency Tables 1.Set up the null and alternative hypotheses. 2.Select a random sample and record the observed frequency, f ij, for each cell of the contingency table. 3. Compute the expected frequency, e ij, for each cell.

28. 28/71 Test of Independence: Contingency Tables Example: A test of independence addresses the question of whether the beer preference (light, regular, or dark) is independent of the gender of the beer drinker (male, female). The hypotheses for this test of independence are: H 0 : Beer preference is independent of the gender of the beer drinker H a : Beer preference is not independent of the gender of the beer drinker

39. 39/71 Goodness of Fit Test: Poisson Distribution In general, the goodness of fit test can be used with any hypothesized probability distribution. Here we will demonstrate the cases of Poisson distribution and Normal distribution.
