1. The Chi-Square Test

Jury Selection (adapted from the Freedman, Pisani, and Purves classic text)

One study of grand juries in Alameda County, California, compared the demographic characteristics of jurors with the general population, to see if jury panels were representative. The results for age are shown below. The investigators wanted to know if the 66 jurors were selected at random from the population of Alameda County. (Only persons over 21 and over are considered; the county age distribution is known from Public Health Department data.) The study was published in the UCLA Law Review.

Age	Count-wide %	# of jurors observed	# of jurors expected	(O-E)	(O-E)²/E
21-40	42%	5
41-50	23%	9
51-60	16%	19
over 60	19%	33
Total	100%	66

a) Should you do a test of homogeneity or a test of independence? Why?

b) Do we have evidence that grand juries are selected at random for the population of Alameda County?

PART 4 - STATISTICAL APPLICATIONS FOR TECHNOLOGY PROJECT

Pick one of the datasets on the CD-ROM that came with the new copy of the textbook. Data files are available in ASCII, Excel, Minitab, JMP, SAS, SPSS, and S-Plus formats. Alternatively, you can use any of the datasets of the PowerPoint presentations or Reading Materials. You must state in your project where your dataset came from. However, in either case make sure that the data is curvilinear and suitable for multiple regressions.

1) Create a multiple regression model.

2) Formulate a null and alternative hypotheses.

3) Identify and explain the test statistic that will be used.

4) Run the Multiple Regression Software Tool to fully analyze the data and report its results.

5) Reject or do not reject your null hypotheses and explain why.

6) Accept or do not accept your alternative hypothesis.

7) Explain why your model is the best fit for the data.
