Yes,

because there is sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

A distribution and the observed frequencies of the values of a variable from a simple random
sample of the population are provided below. Use the chi-square goodness-of-fit test to decide,
at the specified significance level, whether the distribution of the variable differs from the given
distribution.
Distribution: 0.2, 0.2, 0.1, 0.3, 0.2
Observed frequencies: 14, 1, 8, 15, 12
Significance level = 0.10

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
