Question
Casanova restaurant offers a set menu where a customer chooses one of the following meals: pasta, fish or shrimp.
The manager surveyed 150 customers and recorded the customer’s age and chosen meal. The data is shown in the following table.
A χ2 test was performed at the 10% significance level. The critical value for this test is 4.605.
Write down
A customer is selected at random.
State H0, the null hypothesis for this test.
Write down the number of degrees of freedom.
Show that the expected number of children who chose shrimp is 31, correct to two significant figures.
the χ2 statistic.
the p-value.
State the conclusion for this test. Give a reason for your answer.
Calculate the probability that the customer is an adult.
Calculate the probability that the customer is an adult or that the customer chose shrimp.
Given that the customer is a child, calculate the probability that they chose pasta or fish.
Markscheme
(H0 :) choice of meal is independent of age (or equivalent) (A1)
Note: Accept "not associated" or "not dependent" instead of independent. In lieu of "age", accept an equivalent alternative such as "being a child or adult".
[1 mark]
2 (A1)
[1 mark]
69150×67150×150 OR 69×67150 (M1)
Note: Award (M1) for correct substitution into expected frequency formula.
30.82 (30.8) (A1)
31 (AG)
Note: Both an unrounded answer that rounds to the given answer and rounded answer must be seen for the (A1) to be awarded.
[2 marks]
(χ2calc=) 2.66 (2.657537…) (G2)
[2 marks]
(p-value =) 0.265 (0.264803…) (G1)
Note: Award (G0)(G2) if the χ2 statistic is missing or incorrect and the p-value is correct.
[1 mark]
0.265>0.10 OR 2.66<4.605 (R1)(ft)
the null hypothesis is not rejected (A1)(ft)
OR
the choice of meal is independent of age (or equivalent) (A1)(ft)
Note: Award (R1)(ft)) for a correct comparison of either their χ2 statistic to the χ2 critical value or their p-value to the significance level.
Condone “accept” in place of “not reject”.
Follow through from parts (a) and (d).
Do not award (A1)(ft)(R0).
