General estimate of elementary-school students-analyze data

Reference no: EM13487819

Imagine that a general estimate of elementary-school students who have lice is 8%. The principal of Clean Kids Elementary suspects that there is a lice epidemic at her school. Indeed, the nurse examined a sample of 150 children and found that 15 of them had lice.

1. How would you analyze the data?

2. What are your hypothesis?

3. Analyze the data, include results and reject or fail to reject null hypothesis?

4. Statement of significance

I was super confused because I started off as Chi Square but only have 1 category so my degrees of freedom would have been 1. I ended up with a .75 value for my X2 because expected=12 and observed =15. Please help
