The observed distribution of the homicides in terms of specified seasons is given as follows:SeasonFrequencySpring300Summer312Fall293Winter285The objective is to set up the hypotheses for testing if the distribution of homicide crime is uniform.As the distribution of the homicide crime is tested if it is consistent with the uniform distribution, with the assumption that under the null hypothesis, an indifference between observed distribution and hypothesized distribution is claimed, the null hypothesis is set up as follows:H0: The distribution of the number of homicide crimes by season is hypothesized to be distributed uniformly.Whereas, the alternate hypothesis is complementary to the null hypothesis. It is set up:Ha: The distribution of the number of homicide crimes by season is hypothesized to be not distributed uniformly.Further, as the distribution of the crimes for a particular season is quantified in terms of frequency, no parameter is considered to be tested in this case. The hypotheses are:H0: The distribution of the number of homicide crimes by season is hypothesized to be consistent with the uniform distribution.Ha: The distribution of the number of homicide crimes by season is hypothesized to be not consistent with the uniform distribution.
