This module provides a lab on Chi-Square Distribution as a part of Collaborative Statistics collection (col10522) by Barbara Illowsky and Susan Dean.
Class Time:
Names:
Student learning outcome:
The student will evaluate data collected to determine if they fit either the uniform or exponential distributions.
Collect the data
You may need to combine two
categories so that each cell has an expected value of at least 5.
Go to your local supermarket. Ask 30 people as they leave for the total amount on their grocery receipts. (Or, ask 3 cashiers for the last 10 amounts. Be sure to include the express lane, if it is open.)
Record the values.

Construct a histogram of the data. Make 5 - 6 intervals. Sketch the graph using a ruler and pencil. Scale the axes.
Calculate the following:
Uniform distribution
Test to see if grocery receipts follow the uniform distribution.
Using your lowest and highest values,
~
Divide the distribution above into fifths.
Calculate the following:
Lowest value =
20th percentile =
40th percentile =
60th percentile =
80th percentile =
Highest value =
For each fifth, count the observed number of receipts and record it. Then determine the expected number of receipts and record that.

What distribution should you use for a hypothesis test?
Why did you choose this distribution?
Calculate the test statistic.
Find the p-value.
Sketch a graph of the situation. Label and scale the x-axis. Shade the area corresponding to the
p-value.
State your decision.
State your conclusion in a complete sentence.
Exponential distribution
Test to see if grocery receipts follow the exponential distribution with decay
parameter
.
Using
as the decay parameter,
~

Calculate the following:
Lowest value =
First quartile =
37th percentile =
Median =
63rd percentile =
3rd quartile =
Highest value =
For each cell, count the observed number of receipts and record it. Then determine the expected number of receipts and record that.

Discussion questions
Did your data fit either distribution? If so, which?
In general, do you think it’s likely that data could fit more than one distribution? In complete sentences, explain why or why not.
In economics, a perfect market refers to a theoretical construct where all participants have perfect information, goods are homogenous, there are no barriers to entry or exit, and prices are determined solely by supply and demand. It's an idealized model used for analysis,

Where is quantity of cut flower produced, I is labour input and K is fixed capital input (K-5). Determine the average product of labour (APL) and marginal product of labour (MPL)
Quantity demanded refers to the specific amount of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to purchase at a give price and within a specific time period. Demand, on the other hand, is a broader concept that encompasses the entire relationship between price and quantity demanded

Economic growth as an increase in the production and consumption of goods and services within an economy.but
Economic development as a broader concept that encompasses not only economic growth but also social & human well being.

What do you think is more important to focus on when considering inequality ?
sir...I just want to ask one question... Define the term contract curve? if you are free please help me to find this answer 🙏
Asui
it is a curve that we get after connecting the pareto optimal combinations of two consumers after their mutually beneficial trade offs
Awais
thank you so much 👍 sir

In economics, the contract curve refers to the set of points in an Edgeworth box diagram where both parties involved in a trade cannot be made better off without making one of them worse off. It represents the Pareto efficient allocations of goods between two individuals or entities, where neither p
