    Statistics: null hypothesis / goodness-of-fit test

    Question a: A personnel manager is concerned about absenteeism. She decides to sample the records to determine if absenteeism is distributed evenly throughout the six-day workweek. The null hypothesis to be tested is: Absenteeism is distributed evenly throughout the week. The 0.01 level is to be used. The sample results are:

    Chi-Square Test & Significance of Correlation

    A - What is our decision regarding the differences between the observed and expected frequencies if the critical value of chi-square is 9.488 and the computed value is 6.079? 1 - The difference is probably due to sampling error and we should not reject the null hypothese. 2 - Not due to chance; reject the null hypoth
