Part A. The probability of a randomly selected adult is young adult (18-34) is
The probability of a randomly selected adult is young adult (18-34) and cut their own hair is
The proportion of young adults (18-34) who cut their own hair is sames as the conditional probability of a randomly selected adult cut their own hair given that the person is young adult (18-34) is
ans: The percentage of young adults (18-34) who cut their own hair is 42.34%
Part B) The probability of a randomly selected adult cut their own hair at home is
The probability of a randomly selected adult is 35 years or older and cut their own hair is
Among those who cut their own hair at home, the proportion of 35 years or older is sames as the conditional probability of a randomly selected adult is 35 years or older given that they cut their own hair at home
ans: Among those who cut their own hair at home, the percentage of 35 years or older is 45.03%
Part C) We want to test if a person's willingness to cut their own hair depends on their age
Part 1) The hypotheses are
ans:
part 2) The degrees of freedom are (number of rows-1)*(number of columns-1) = (2-1)*(3-1)=2
ans: The degrees of freedom are 2
part 3) The chi-square test for homogeneity/independence is a right tailed test
The right critical value for significance level is
Using the chi-square tables for df=2 and the area under the right tail=0.05, we get the critical value=5.991
ans: The critical value is 5.991
Part 4) We will reject the null hypothesis, if the chi-square test statistic is greater than the critical value.
Here, the test statistic is 44.75 and it is greater than 5.991. Hence we reject the null hypothesis.
ans: Reject the null hypothesis. The chi-square test statistic is greater than the critical value.
