Math Problem Statement
Research question: We wish to investigate whether the age of the artists involved in a recent auction of new art is distributed according to the table below.
the age of the artists | 1 (less than 20) | 2 (21-30) | 3 (31-55) | 4 (more than 55) Percentage | 10 | 10 | 40 | 40 Please complete the following table calculating the values of A, B and C.
| 1 (less than 20) | 2 (21-30) | 3 (31-55) | 4 (more than 55) | Total
Observed Count | 31 | 29 | A=*** | 22 | 105
Expected Count | 10.5 | 10.5 | 42 | B=*** | 105
chi squared | C=*** | 32.595 | 8.595 | 9.524 | 90.738
A [integer]: Answer 6 Question 1
B [use at least 3dp
Solution
To solve this question, let's complete the table step-by-step.
Step 1: Calculating (Observed Count for the age group 31-55)
We are given that the total observed count is 105. We already have observed counts for the other three age groups:
- for age group "less than 20"
- for age group "21-30"
- for age group "more than 55"
Using the total count, we can calculate as follows:
So, .
Step 2: Calculating (Expected Count for the age group more than 55)
The expected count for each age group is based on the percentages provided:
- Less than 20: 10% of 105
- 21-30: 10% of 105
- 31-55: 40% of 105
- More than 55: 40% of 105
For age group "more than 55":
So, .
Step 3: Calculating (chi-squared value for age group less than 20)
The chi-squared statistic for each group is calculated by the formula:
For age group "less than 20":
So, (rounded to three decimal places).
Completed Table
Now we can fill in the missing values in the table:
| | 1 (less than 20) | 2 (21-30) | 3 (31-55) | 4 (more than 55
