Discussion:
The Chi-Square test for proportions is illustrated using the following example.
During the first 13 weeks of the television season, the Saturday evening 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. audience proportions were recorded as ABC 29%, CBS 28%, NBC 25%, and independents 18%. A sample of 300 homes two weeks after a Saturday night schedule revision yielded the following viewing audience data: ABC 95 homes, CBS 70 homes, NBC 89 homes, and independents 46 homes.
Test with a= 0.05 to determine whether the viewing audience proportions changed.
