Question

The campus bookstore at a local university is interested in finding out whether the textbook preference and the class level (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior) of the student are associated. A random sample of 100 students is obtained, and each student in the sample is asked which textbook he or she prefers: new books, used books, or digital books. The students are also asked whether their class level is freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior.Which of the following is the appropriate test for the investigation?A. A one-sample tt-test for a population meanB. A two-sample tt-test for a difference between meansC. A chi-square goodness-of-fit testD. A chi-square test of homogeneityE. A chi-square test of independence

Answer 1

The appropriate test for the investigation is;

E. A chi-square test of independence

Explanation:

The chi-square test for independence is for the analysis of two categories from within a population to evaluate the existence of association among the different categories within the two variables

The chi-square test for independence is used for the analysis of contingency (frequency) table

Therefore, the appropriate test for the investigation in finding out (1) the textbook preference and (2) the class level of the associated student is the chi-square test of independence
