Questions 6–10 refer to the sample data in the following table, which describes the fate of the passengers and crew aboard the Titanic when it sank on April 15, 1912. Assume that the data are a sample from a large population and we want to use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that surviving is independent of whether the person is a man, woman, boy, or girl.





What distribution is used to test the stated claim (normal, t, F, chi-square, uniform)?

Robust What does it mean when we say that the F test described in this section is not robust against departures from normality?

Exercises 1–5 refer to the sample data in the following table, which summarizes the frequencies of 500 digits randomly generated by Statdisk. Assume that we want to use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that Statdisk generates the digits in a way that they are equally likely.

What are the null and alternative hypotheses corresponding to the stated claim?

Exercises 1–5 refer to the sample data in the following table, which summarizes the frequencies of 500 digits randomly generated by Statdisk. Assume that we want to use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that Statdisk generates the digits in a way that they are equally likely.

Is the hypothesis test left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed?

Assume that the data are a sample from a large population and we want to use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that surviving is independent of whether the person is a man, woman, boy, or girl.

Identify the null and alternative hypotheses corresponding to the stated claim.

Find the number of degrees of freedom.

Testing Hypotheses About Regression Coefficients If the coefficient has a nonzero value, then it is helpful in predicting the value of the response variable. If it is not helpful in predicting the value of the response variable and can be eliminated from the regression equation. To test the claim that use the test statistic Critical values or P-values can be found using the t distribution with degrees of freedom, where k is the number of predictor variables and n is the number of observations in the sample. The standard error is often provided by software. For example, see the accompanying StatCrunch display for Example 1, which shows that (found in the column with the heading of “Std. Err.” and the row corresponding to the first predictor variable of height). Use the sample data in Data Set 1 “Body Data” and the StatCrunch display to test the claim that Also test the claim that What do the results imply about the regression equation?
