An ice cream shop owner thinks that her customers are not like the rest of America.  The table below shows the results of 820 of her patrons' ice cream selections. What can be concluded at the αα = 0.01 significance level?



  1. Complete the table by filling in the expected frequencies.  Round your answers to the nearest whole number.

  3. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?
    H0:H0:

  4. The degrees of freedom =

  5. The test-statistic for this data =  (Please show your answer to three decimal places.)

  6. The p-value for this sample = (Please show your answer to four decimal places.)




  7. The p-value is Select an answer greater than less than (or equal to)  αα




  8. Based on this, we should Select an answer fail to reject the null reject the null accept the null

  9. Thus, the final conclusion is...


    • There is insufficient evidence to conclude that favorite ice cream and where the ice cream is purchased are dependent.
