Part 2 Answer the following to summarize the test of the hypothesis that there is no association between the two variables closing price movement from Monday to Tuesday and closing price movement from Tuesday to Wednesday. For your test, use the 0.05 level of significance. (a) Determine the type of test statistic to use.
Type of test statistic: \square Degrees of freedom: \square (b) Find the value of the test statistic. (Round to two or more decimal places.) \square

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We are dealing with categorical data in a contingency table.
2. We need to test for association between two variables.
3. The significance level is 0.05.
4. The sample size is large enough for a chi-square test.

STEP 2

1. Identify the appropriate test for association.
2. Calculate the degrees of freedom.
3. Calculate the expected frequencies.
4. Calculate the chi-square test statistic.

STEP 3

The appropriate test for association between two categorical variables is the chi-square test of independence.
Type of test statistic: Chi-square

STEP 4

Calculate the degrees of freedom: df = (number of rows - 1) × (number of columns - 1) df = (2 - 1) × (2 - 1) = 1
Degrees of freedom: 1

STEP 5

Calculate the expected frequencies for each cell:
Eij=(rowtotal)(columntotal)grandtotalE_{ij} = \frac{(row total)(column total)}{grand total}
For "Up on Tuesday" and "Up on Wednesday": E11=267×233500=124.42E_{11} = \frac{267 \times 233}{500} = 124.42
For "Up on Tuesday" and "Not up on Wednesday": E12=267×267500=142.58E_{12} = \frac{267 \times 267}{500} = 142.58
For "Not up on Tuesday" and "Up on Wednesday": E21=233×233500=108.58E_{21} = \frac{233 \times 233}{500} = 108.58
For "Not up on Tuesday" and "Not up on Wednesday": E22=233×267500=124.42E_{22} = \frac{233 \times 267}{500} = 124.42

STEP 6

Calculate the chi-square test statistic:
χ2=(OE)2E\chi^2 = \sum \frac{(O - E)^2}{E}
Where O is the observed frequency and E is the expected frequency.
χ2=(134124.42)2124.42+(133142.58)2142.58+(99108.58)2108.58+(134124.42)2124.42\chi^2 = \frac{(134 - 124.42)^2}{124.42} + \frac{(133 - 142.58)^2}{142.58} + \frac{(99 - 108.58)^2}{108.58} + \frac{(134 - 124.42)^2}{124.42}
χ2=0.7373+0.6444+0.8452+0.7373=2.9642\chi^2 = 0.7373 + 0.6444 + 0.8452 + 0.7373 = 2.9642
The value of the test statistic is 2.96 (rounded to two decimal places).
