The proportions of customers who prefer each insurance product
are all thought to be equal.
The proportions of customers who prefer each insurance product are
different for each category (and equal to the previously accepted
values).
State the null and alternative hypothesis in terms of the expected proportions for each category.

There is not enough evidence to refute the manager's claim about
the proportions of customers who prefer each product.
There is enough evidence to refute the manager's claim about the
proportions of customers who prefer each product.
Step 1 of 10:
Null and Alternative Hypotheses
The following null and alternative hypotheses need to be tested:
H0: Preferences for life insurance products are as per the manager's belief
Ha: Preferences for life insurance products are not as per the manager's belief.
Step 2 of 10:
The null hypothesis indicate that "the proportions of customers who prefer each insurance product are different for each category (and equal to the previously accepted values)."
Step 3 of 10:
The null and alternative hypothesis in terms of the expected proportions for each category.
H0: pWhole = 0.30, pUniversal = 0.30, pAnnuities = 0.40
Ha: There is some difference amongst the proportions.
Step 4 of 10:
From the table, we can see that the expected value for the number of customers who prefer Whole Life is 99
Step 5 of 10:
From the table, we can see that the expected value for the number of customers who prefer Universal Life is 99
Step 6 of 10:
Check table for calculation
Step 7 of 10:
The number of degrees of freedom is df = 3 - 1 = 2
Step 8 of 10:
Critical value corresponding to α = 0.05 and df = 2 can be obtained using online calculator
Critical value is 5.991 (Screenshot of online calculator attached)
Step 9 of 10:
Since it is observed that χ2 = 1.472 ≤ χc2 = 5.991, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
Step 10 of 10:
Therefore, there is not enough evidence to refute the manager's claim about the proportions of customers who prefer each product, at the α=0.05 significance level.
