question 58

Short Answer

In the past, of all the students enrolled in Basic Business Statistics, 10 percent earned an A, 20 percent earned a B, 30 percent earned a C, 20 percent earned a D, and the remainder failed the course. Dr. Johnson is a new professor teaching Basic Business Statistics for the first time this semester. At the conclusion of the semester, of his 60 students, 10 had earned an A, 20 a B, 20 a C, 5 a D, and 5 received an F. Assume that the class constitutes a random sample. Dr. Johnson wants to know if there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the grade distribution of his class is different from the historical grade distribution. At α = .05, test to determine if the grade distribution for this class is different from the historical grade distribution.
