Question

A sports fan conducted a test to investigate whether male high school athletes are equally divided among football, soccer, swimming, tennis, and basketball. A sample of male high school athletes was selected and the resulting value of the chi-square test statistic was 10.65. Which if the following represents the p value

Answer 1

`P(x^(2) \geq 10.65) = 0.03\\`

Explanation:

Since there are 5 categories, there are 5−1=4 degrees of freedom. The probability of obtaining a chi-square test statistic greater than or equal to 10.65 with 4 degrees of freedom is approximately 0.03, as found using technology.
