Suppose a researcher is interested in whether Iowa drivers support stricter penalties for drunk driving. A random sample of 400 Iowa drivers was polled and asked their opinions using a 5-point scale of -2 to 2 { -2 , -1 , 0 , 1 , 2 }. Negative values mean opposition to stricter penalties, and positive values mean support of stricter penalties. Which of the following would be a suitable null hypothesis?

Computer programs are available that produce “random numbers” which are used in simulation studies of the sampling distributions of statistics. One researcher used a computer program to generate 100 random single-digit integers (0 through 9) and tabulated the frequency with which each occurred. One concern is whether the computer program could be expected (in the “long run”) to produce equal numbers of each integer. Suppose that the frequency with which each integer occurred was: Integer 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Frequency 12 10 9 8 10 7 13 11 11 9 What is the value of the Chi-Square statistic for this sample?
