Quiz (1 item x 10 points)

1. A popular supermarket chain routinely asks its customers whether they prefer plastic bags or their bags with their
purchases. A recent survey of customers recorded information on their bag preferences as well as their educational
background. Using the information from the table below, can we conclude at the 0.01 level of significance that there
is a relationship between educational background and type of bag preferred?
Educational Background
Bag preference High school Tertiary Postgraduate
Own bag 20 40 80
Plastic bag 90 20 15
No preference 20 12 12

Step 1: Hypothesize

Ho: Educational Background is independent of age

H1: Educational Background not independent of age

Step 2: Decide on the type of test

The chi-square test of independent is appropriate

Step 3: Decide on the level of significance and determine the critical values and region

(s) Let = 0.01 Here, there are three rows (r = 3) and three columns (c = 3)
The degrees of freedom are (3-1) (3-1) = 4.
The critical value of chi-square for = 0.01 is 13.227

Step 4: Decision
If the chi square value calculated from the data is greater than 13.227, we reject the null
hypothesis and conclude that gender is not independent of age.

Step 5: Select a random sample and do relevant calculations.
