Class Time:

Names:

    Student learning outcome

  • The student will evaluate if there is a significant relationship between favorite type of snack and gender.

    Collect the data

  1. Using your class as a sample, complete the following chart. Ask each other what your favorite snack is, then total the results.

Hypothesis test

Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the factors are independent:

  1. H 0 : ________
  2. H a : ________
  3. What distribution should you use for a hypothesis test?
  4. Why did you choose this distribution?
  5. Calculate the test statistic.
  6. Find the p -value.
  7. Sketch a graph of the situation. Label and scale the x -axis. Shade the area corresponding to the p -value.
    Blank graph with vertical and horizontal axes.
  8. State your decision.
  9. State your conclusion in a complete sentence.

    Discussion questions

  1. Is the conclusion of your study the same as or different from your answer to answer to question two under Collect the Data ?
  2. Why do you think that occurred?
