In Exercises 1 4, (a) identify the expected distribution and state H0 and Ha, (b) find the critical value and identify the rejection region, (c) find the chi-square test statistic, (d) decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis, and (e) interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.A researcher claims that the distribution of the amounts that parents give for an allowance is different from the distribution shown in the pie chart. You randomly select 1103 parents and ask them how much they give for an allowance. The table shows the results. At a = 0.10, test the researchers claim.

Question
In Exercises 5 8, (a) find the expected frequency for each cell in the contingency table, (b) identify the claim and state H0 and Ha, (c) determine the degrees of freedom, find the critical value, and identify the rejection region, (d) find the chi-square test statistic, (e) decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis, and (f) interpret the decision in the context of the original claim. If convenient, use technology.The contingency table shows the results of a random sample of endangeredand threatened species by status and vertebrate group. At a = 0.01, test thehypothesis that the variables are independent.

Solution
The first step in solving 10 problem number 7 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: In Exercises 5 8, (a) find the expected frequency for each cell in the contingency table, (b) identify the claim and state H0 and Ha, (c) determine the degrees of freedom, find the critical value, and identify the rejection region, (d) find the chi-square test statistic, (e) decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis, and (f) interpret the decision in the context of the original claim. If convenient, use technology.The contingency table shows the results of a random sample of endangeredand threatened species by status and vertebrate group.
