The city council is considering a law that would ban smoking in all public facilities. A sample has been selected from the community and tested for support of the ordinance. Is there a statistically significant relationship between age and support for the anti-smoking law? Use the five step model as a guide and write a sentence or two interpreting your results.
Age
Less than 40 More than 40
SUPPORT For 145 78 223
Against 103 169 272
Total 248 247 495

Answer:

Reject Null Hypothesis given that  P-value < ∝

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying the Five ( 5 ) step model and assuming ∝ = 0.05

First step : determine the Null hypothesis

H0 : Age and support for Anti-smoking = independent

Second step : Determine the alternate hypothesis

Ha : Age and support for Anti-smoking ≠ independent

Thirdly : Identify significance level ( ∝ ) = 0.05

4th step : Calculate the Test statistic and P-value

Chi-squared test = 36.1429 using excel function

P-value =  1 - CHISQ.DIST(36.1429, 1, TRUE)  < 0.0001

finally : we can conclude that Age and support for Anti -smoking are not Independent hence we Reject The Null hypothesis. Given that

P-value < ∝
