Chi-Square Tests for Blood Types and Injuries

The document presents four statistical questions involving hypothesis testing and chi-square tests. Question 1 tests the distribution of blood types against expected ratios, Question 2 evaluates the fit of a binomial distribution to coin toss results, Question 3 analyzes injury levels before and after seat belt legislation, and Question 4 examines gender acceptance rates in university schools. Each question includes specific data and requests for statistical analysis at defined significance levels.

Chapter 2 Extra Examples:

Question 1
Recorded here is the frequency distribution of the blood types of 100 persons who have
volunteered to donate blood at a plasma centre.

Blood type O A B AB Total

Frequency observed 40 44 10 6 100

Test the null hypothesis that the probability of the blood type O, A, B, AB is in the ratios
4:4:1:1. Use  = 0.05.

Question 2
A game is played where a participant throws a coin four times and the number of heads are
counted. A participant tries the game a hundred times and he obtains the following results
from his set of 100 games.

Observed. Expected
Number of
Frequency frequency
Heads (X) P(X=x)
(Oi) (Ei)

0 20 0.316
1 30 0.422
2 20 0.211
3 15
4 15

It is desired to test if the data can be fitted with the binomial distribution with parameters
𝑛 = 4 and 𝑝 = 1⁄4.

(a) State the null and alternative hypotheses clearly.


(b) Some values are already calculated, find the missing ones in the table and compute the
chi-square test statistic for the goodness of fit test for the binomial distribution to the
data.
(c) Obtain the p-value for the test statistic in part (b) above and draw a conclusion about
the hypotheses in part (a) at the 5% significance level.
Question 3
Data were collected on the level of injury for drivers involved in accidents both before and
after enactment of seat belt legislation. Cross-tabulated data are shown below.
Minimal
No injury injury Minor injury fatal injury
After enactment 1281 74 45 34

Prior to enact. 6596 400 264 40

Test the association for statistical significance at 5% level of significance. Use the P-value
approach to give your conclusions.

Question 4
A university admissions officer was concerned that males and females were accepted at
different rates into the four different schools (business, engineering, liberal arts, and science)
at the university. The experimenter collected the following data on the acceptance of 1200
males and 800 females who applied to the university:

Acceptance Business Engineer Lib Arts Science Total

Male 240 480 120 360 1200

Female 240 80 320 160 800

Total 480 560 440 520 2000

Are males and females distributed equally among the various schools? Use α = 0.1
