The 2014 Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) included a question that asked faculty how much of their coursework emphasizes the memorization of facts, ideas, or methods so that students can repeat them in pretty much the same form. The results are below. Very little: 21.5% Some: 33.7% Quite a bit: 27.7% Very much: 17.1% A small study that same year asked 400 randomly selected community college students how much of their coursework emphasized memorizing facts, ideas, or methods so that they can repeat them in pretty much the same form. The results are below. Very little: 39 Some: 139 Quite a bit: 148 Very much: 74 Find the value of the CRITICAL VALUE that would be used in a test of the claim that the distribution of faculty responses to this question is the same as the distribution of student responses. Use a significance level of 0.01.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The objective is to test if the courses emphasize memorizing facts, ideas or methods following the same distribution as before.

The variable of interest is

X: Opinion of students in how much of their coursework emphasized memorizing facts, ideas, or methods. Categorized: 1_"Very little", 2_" Some", 3_" Quite a bit" and 4_"Very much"

It is known for a survey made in 2014 that the percentages for each category are: 1_Very little: 21.5%, 2_Some: 33.7%, 3_Quite a bit: 27.7% and 4_Very much: 17.1%

To test if the current situation follows the same distribution as the historical data (from 2014) you have to conduct a Goodness to Fit Chi-Square test.

The hypotheses are:

H₀: P₁= 0.215; P₂= 0.337, P₃= 0.277 and P₄= 0.171

H₁:

α: 0.01

$X^2= sum[\frac{(O:i-E_i)^2}{E_i} ]~~X^2_{k-1}$

k= number of categories of the variable.

This test is always one-tailed (right), which means that you will reject the null hypothesis to high values of X² (when the observed and expected frequencies for each category are too different)

The critical value is:

$X^2_{k-1;1-\alpha }= X^2_{3;0.99}= 11.345$

You will reject the null hypothesis if $X^2_{H_0} \geq 11.345$

You will not reject the null hypothesis if $X^2_{H_0} < 11.345$

Before calculating the statistic under the null hypothesis, you have to calculate the expected value for each category following the formula:

E_i= n*P_i

n= 400

E₁= n*P₁= 400*0.215= 86

E₂= n*P₂= 400*0.337= 134.8

E₃= n*P₃= 400*0.277= 110.8

E₄=n*P₄= 400*0.171= 68.4

The observed frequencies are:

O₁= 39

O₂= 139

O₃= 148

O₄= 74

$X^2_{H_0}= (\frac{(39-86)^2}{86} )+(\frac{(139-134.8)^2}{134.8} )+(\frac{(148-110.8)^2}{110.8} )+(\frac{(74-68.4)^2}{68.4} )= 38.76$

As said before, this test is one-tailed to the right (always) and so is its p-value:

P(X₃²≥38.76)= 1 - P(X²₃<38.76)= 1 - 1 ≅ 0

p-value < 0.00001

Using both approaches (p-value and critical value) the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

With a level of significance of 1% the decision is to reject the null hypothesis, then the actual courses do not emphasize the memorization of facts, ideas, and methods following the historical percentages.

I hope this helps!
