Step 1 of 20 The data represent uric acid determinations (UAD) follow normal distribution with population mean is 5.74 and population standard deviation is 2.01. The ten-step hypothesis testing procedure Step 1 ‘The data represent the distribution of uric acid determinations random sample of 250 patients taken follow normal distribution with population mean is 5:74 and population standard deviation is 2.01. Step 2 of 20 Step2 The assumption is that the sample which is 250 patients available for analysis s a simple random sample Step 3 of 20 Step 3 The null hypoth is that the sampled population is normally distributed. Step 4 of 20 ‘The alternative hypothesis is that the sampled population is not normally distributed. Step 5 of 20 step 4 The test statisticsis,Step 6 of 20 Step 5 k =r The distribution of chi-square is with degree of freedom, if null hypothesis is true. Step 7 step 6 The decision rule's, First, compute the critical value then state decision rule. ‘The chi-square critical value is, First, compute the degrees of freedom then find chi-square critical value. “The degrees of freedom degreesof freedom = k -r 1-3 Step 8 of 2 The chi-square critical value is, From the chi-square table; show degrees of freedom which is 8 and the significance level 0.01, so chi-square «critical values is 20.09. 20.09 “The chi-square critical value is.‘Step 9 of 20 ‘The decision ruleis, = 20.09 Ifthe , then the observed values of chi-square falls in the rare zone as result reject the null hypothesis. L < 20.09 Ifthe , then the observed values of chi-square falls in the rare zone as result reject the null hypothesis. Step 10 of 20 Step7 The chi-square goodness-of-fit test-statistics is, First, compute the expected frequencies then find chi-square goodness-of-fit test-statistics. ‘The expected probabilities for category 10-under 20 is, First, compute z-score for 0 and 1 then find probability from standard normal distribution table based on z-score. Step 11 of 20 For UAD 0, Step 12 of 20 From the standard normal distribution, the associate probability for the left area for the z-score which is -2.84 is 0.0023.Step 13 of 20 For UAD 1, From the standard normal distribution, the associate probability for the left area for the z-score which is -2.34 is 0.0096, Step 14 of 20 ‘The expected probabilities (E.P) for UAD 0 under Lis, E.P.=UADI-UADO = 0.0096 - 0.0023 = 0.0073 ‘The expected probabilities (E.P} for UAD 0 under 1 is 0.0073. Step 15 of 20, Similar way, find other expected probabilities for VADs,Step 16 of ‘The expected frequencies (E.F) are, Expected frequencies are compute by multiply with total of observed frequency with expected probabilities. “The expected frequencies table is shown below, vAD EP. | Total of OF. | EF. on 0.0073 | 250 1.8250 1-199 | 0.0220 | 250 5.5000 2-299 | 0.0585 | 250 13.8750 3-399 | 0.1080 | 250 27.0000 4-499 | 01645 | 250 41.1250 5-599 | 0.1884 | 250 471000 6-699 | 0.1879 | 250 463750 7-799 | 01362 | 250 34.0500 8-899 | 0.0788 | 250 197000 9-999 | 0.0385 | 250 9.6250 10-10.99 | 0.0129 | 250 3.2250‘Step 17 of ‘The expected frequency less than 1 is less than 5, so loose category 1 and greater than 10 is laose 2 categories. The chi-square goodness-of-fit test-statistics is, By using Excel software, find chi-square test statistics with the help of following steps: 2) Import the data, 2) Select Goodness-of-Fit Test from Chi-Square in MegaStat option from Add-Ins menu. 3) Select Observed values and Expected values. 4) Click Ok.

Step 19 of 20 Step 9 Conclusion ‘The conclusion is that there is insufficient evidence to indicate that the sampled population is not normally distributed. The result is not statistically significant. Step 20 of 20 Step 10 The p-value for this testis, 0.977 | From the Excel output, the p-value for this test is
