Question

A national publication showed the following distribution of favorite class subjects for high school students.

Math: 5% English: 14% Social Studies 28%: PE: 26% Music: 20% Other: 7&
Pasquale, a student from a high school of 1,200 students, wants to see whether the distribution at his school matches that of the publication. He stands at the school entrance in the morning and asks the first 40 students he sees what their favorite class is. Pasquale records the following table of observed values.
Math: 7 English: 8 Social Studies: 7: PE: 6 Music: 6 Other: 6
He decides to conduct a chi-square goodness-of-fit test to see whether his high school's distribution differs significantly from that of the publication. Pasquale’s statistics teacher tells him that his information does not meet the conditions necessary for a goodness-of-fit test. Which condition has not been met?

I. Data are collected using a random sample or randomized experiment
II. n≤0.10N
III. All expected counts are greater than 5.

A) I only
B) II only
C) III only
D) I and III only
E) I and II only

Answer 1

the answer is d sorry if i am wrong

Answer 2

D) I and III only

Explanation:

It was never specified if the sample was random, but the method of sampling was not random. So I must be true, eliminating B and C. Additionally, not all the expected counts are greater than 5 as 40(0.05)<5, 40(0.14)>5, 40(0.28)>5, 40(0.20)>5, 40(0.26)>5, 40(0.20)>5, and 40(0.07)<5. Therefore, D is the only correct answer.
