A local brewery produces three premium lagers named Half Pint, XXX, and Dark Night. Of its premium lagers, they bottle 40% Half Pint, 40% XXX, and 20% Dark Night lagers. In a marketing test of a sample of consumers, 27 preferred the Half Pint lager, 29 preferred the XXX lager, and 24 preferred the Dark Night lager. Using a chi-square goodness-of-fit test, decide to retain or reject the null hypothesis that production of the premium lagers matches these consumer preferences using a 0.05 level of significance. State the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) $ \chi_{obt}^2 $

reject the null hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Total observation = 27+49+24 = 100

Expected Frequency :

Half Pint = 100 × 0.4 = 40

XXX = 100 × 0.4 = 40

Dark night = 100 × 0.2 = 20

The Chi-square goodness-of-fit test can be computed as follows:

             Observed              Expected                  

            Frequency(O)         Frequency (E)

Half-       27                            40                                 4.225      

Pint

XXX       29                           40                                  3.025

Dark-       24                          20                                  0.8

night

Total      100                         100                                 8.05

The test statistics = 8.05

8.05

degree of freedom = n -1

degree of freedom =  3 - 1

degree of freedom =  2

The p-value can be computed by using the EXCEL FORMULA (=CHIDIST(8.05,2)

p-value = 0.01786

Since the p-value is less than the level of significance, we reject the null hypothesis

Also using the critical value approach from the EXCEL FUNCTION;

critical chi-square  (=CHIINV(0.05,2) = 5.99

, therefore, we reject the null hypothesis

(- 1, 0 )

step-by-step explanation:

an x- intercept is where the function crosses the x- axis.

to find the x- intercept/s look for the value of x when f(x) = 0

from the given table there are 3 values of x where f(x) = 0

when x = - 1, x = 2, x = 3

the one that is listed is (- 1, 0 )
