\fCriminologists have long debated whether there is a relationship between weather conditions and the incidence of violent crime. The author of the article "Is There a Season for Homicide?" (Criminology, 1988: 287-296) classified 1361 homicides according to season, resulting in the accompanying data. Test the null hypothesis of equal proportions using a = .01 by using the chi-squared table to say as much as possible about the P-value. 0 = .01a. Show that another expression for the chi-squared statistic is N 2 Y = np jo Why is it more efficient to compute + using this formula? b. When the null hypothesis is (Hop, = P, = . . . = P: = 1/k (i.e., Pa = 1/k for all /), how does the formula of part (a) simplify? Use the simplified expression to cal- culate 12 for the pigeon/direction data in Exercise 4. Why is it more efficient to compute y" using this formula? b. When the null hypothesis is (Ho: p, = P2 =.... PA - 1/k (i.e., po 1/k for all ?). (i.e., for all i). how does the formula of part (3) simplify? Use the simplified expression to calculate y"for the pigeon/direction data in Exercise 4. Reference exercise 4 It is hypothesized that when homing pigeons are disoriented in a certain manner, they will exhibit no preference for any direction of flight after takeoff (so that the direction X should be uniformly distributed on the interval from 0' to 380*). To test this. 120 pigeons are disoriented, let loose, and the direction of flight of each is recorded; the resulting data follows. Use the chi-squared test at level .10 to see whether the data supports the hypothesis. Direction 0-
