(a) The owner of a recreational centre is interested in testing whether the age structure of its patrons is the similar to the age structure of the population in Ghana as a whole. The following data were collected by the owner:

Age Groups Recreational centre(in %) Country Percentage(%)
Under 20 15 30
20 years under 40 20 28
40 years under 60 33 22
Overs 60 years 32 20


To conduct a goodness-of-fit test at the 5% level of significance, you are required to:
(i) State the three assumptions made in conducting the chi-square. 


(ii) State appropriate null and alternative hypotheses and state the critical chi-squared value. 


(iii) Calculate the chi-squared test statistic and draw an appropriate conclusion.
