Problem 3:
A medical journal reported the following frequencies of deaths due to cardiac arrest for each day of the week:
Cardiac Death by Day of the Week |
|
Day |
|
Monday |
40 |
Tuesday |
17 |
Wednesday |
16 |
Thursday |
29 |
Friday |
15 |
Saturday |
20 |
Sunday |
17 |
We want to determine whether the number of deaths is uniform over the week.
a. Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses.
b. Compute the test statistic.
c. Using the p-value approach at 95% confidence, test for the uniformity of death over the week.
d. Using the critical value approach at 95% confidence, perform the test for uniformity.
