The computational procedure for homogeneity of proportions differs from that of the test of independence
in that it takes into account the standard deviation.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question is asking about homogeneity of proportions, but the data provided is only showing the distribution of minutes spent watching TV each day. The question is not clear on whether the data represents different groups or categories, so it is not possible to determine if a test for homogeneity of proportions is appropriate. Additionally, the question does not provide any information about the standard deviation, which would be necessary for conducting a test for homogeneity of proportions. Therefore, the statement is false. The question is asking about homogeneity of proportions, which is a test for whether the proportions in different groups are the same. The given data only shows the average minutes of television watched per day, but it doesn't show the proportions of children who watch different amounts of television. Therefore, we cannot use the homogeneity of proportions test for this data.
