In a class survey, statistics students were asked, “Which one of these choices describes your perception of your weight: about right, overweight, or underweight?” The table in Exercise 4.12 displayed the results by sex. Displayed below are those results along with the Minitab output for a chi-square test. (Source: The authors.)

a. State the null and alternative hypotheses being tested in this situation.
b. State a conclusion for the test, using a = .05.
c. Using the results shown in the Minitab output, identify the cells with large “contributions to chi-square.” Explain in words that would be understood by someone with no training in statistics why the contributions are so large for those cells.
