13. Null Hypothesis: Nutrition and IQ are independent
Alternative Hypothesis: Nutrition and IQ are not independent
Test is chi square test of independence based on the statistic
T=.
Under the null T~
and we
reject the null at 5% if observed T>
We calculate the values in the following table

Total 423 382 286 345 1436
In each cell, the fist entry indicates observed count (O), the second entry indicates expected count (E) and the third entry indicates (O-E)2/E .
Then we get Pearson Chi-Square = 19.277, DF = 3 and =7.81
and thus reject the null.
Hence Nutrition and IQ are significantly associated.
14. Null hypothesis : All golf clubs yield same mean
distance
Alternative hypothesis At least one golf clubs yield different mean
distance
Then the appropriate method is one way ANOVA. We assume equal
variance for the analysis.
Then our test statistic is F=[SS(Between)/df1]/[SSE/df2], where df1 and df2 are the respective degrees of freedom. Now df1=3-1=2, df2=12 and under the null F~F(2,12). Thus we reject the null if observed F>F.05,2,12
We calculate the sum squares in the following table.

Now F.05,2,12= 3.89 and hence we reject the null.
Thus at least one golf clubs yielded significantly different mean distance.
