An administrator at a local high school wants to investigate whether there is an association between the grade level of a student (either ninth, tenth, eleventh, or twelfth) and how the student commutes to school (either walks, bikes, takes the bus, receives a ride, or drives). After a chi-square test for association was conducted, the results indicated that the chi-square test statistic was 14.63 with a p-value of 0.2623. Which of the following is the correct interpretation of the p-value in the context of the test? A) There is a 26.23 percent chance that grade level and how a student commutes to school are independent. B) There is a 26.23 percent chance that there is no association between grade level and how a student commutes to school. C) Assuming there is no association between a student’s grade level and how the student commutes to school, there is a 26.23 percent chance of finding a test statistic that is 14.63 or larger. D) Assuming that a student’s grade level and the way the student commutes to school are dependent, there is a 26.23 percent chance of finding a test statistic that is 14.63 or larger. E) Assuming that a student’s grade level and the way the student commutes to school are dependent, there is a 26.23 percent chance of finding a test statistic that is 14.63 or smaller

Which of the following is true about the chi-square test for homogeneity? A) The number of subjects randomly assigned to each treatment is not the same; therefore, it is not appropriate to use a chi-square test for homogeneity across treatment groups. B) Volunteers do not constitute a random sample from the population of all patients with the chronic intestinal condition; therefore, it is not appropriate to use a chi-square test for homogeneity across treatment groups. C) Volunteers with the chronic intestinal condition were randomly assigned to each treatment, so the independence condition has been met. D) Not all of the observed cell counts are large enough to satisfy the conditions for applying the chi-square test of homogeneity. E) Not all of the expected cell counts are large enough to satisfy the conditions for applying the chi-square test for homogeneity.

A chi-square test for homogeneity was conducted to investigate whether the four high schools in a school district have different absentee rates for each of four grade levels. The chi-square test statistic and p-value of the test were 19.02 and 0.025, respectively. Which of the following is the correct interpretation of the p-value in the context of the test? A) Assuming that each high school has the same absentee rate for each grade level, there is a 2.5 percent chance of finding a test statistic 19.02 or smaller. B) Assuming that each high school has the same absentee rate for each grade level, there is a 2.5 percent chance of finding a test statistic 19.02 or larger. C) Assuming that each high school has a different absentee rate for each grade level, there is a 2.5 percent chance of finding a test statistic 19.02 or larger. D) There is a 2.5 percent chance that the absentee rate for each grade level at the four schools is the same. E) There is a 2.5 percent chance that the absentee rate for each grade level at the four schools is different.
