The National Center for Health Statistics (1970) gives the following data on distribution of suicides in the United States by month in 1970. Is there any evidence that the suicide rate varies seasonally, or are the data consistent with the hypothesis that the rate is constant? (Hint: Under the latter hypothesis, model the number of suicides in each month as a multinomial random variable with the appropriate probabilities and conduct a goodness-of-fit test. Look at the signs of the deviations, Oi Ei , and see if there is a pattern.)
