Expert Solution
Step 1

Below is the following table :

Categories Observed Expected (fo-fe)2/fe
A 112 430*0.2744=117.992 (112-117.992)2/117.992 = 0.304
B 180 430*0.3512=151.016 (180-151.016)2/151.016 = 5.563
C 138 430*0.3744=160.992 (138-160.992)2/160.992 = 3.284
       
Sum = 430 430 9.151

Null and Alternative Hypotheses

The following null and alternative hypotheses need to be tested:

H0:p1=0.2744,p2=0.3512,p3=0.3744H_0: p_1 = 0.2744, p_2 = 0.3512, p_3 = 0.3744

HaH_a: Some of the population proportions differ from the values stated in the null hypothesis

a) This corresponds to a Chi-Square test for Goodness of Fit.
