A random sample of students from a commuter college were surveyed and asked about their employment status. The results are recorded in the table below. Test the claim that the frequencies are evenly distributed throughout the categories. Use α = .05 .
# Hours per week 0-9 10-19 20-29 30-39 40+ Number of students 28 15 19 22 24
Find the value of the test statistic. (Round to the nearest ten-thousandth.)
In the data of this question, we see that there are 5
categories. Let be the proportion of
the category
where
= 1,2,3,4,5.
