You are trying to determine if a certain die is fair (has a uniform distribution). You roll the die 90 times and record the outcomes in the table below.

Outcome 1 2 3 4 5 6
Expected 15 15 15 15 15 15
Observed 8 10 13 16 7 36

The first few steps of a chi-square goodness-of-fit test are summarized below.

  • H0: The die is fair.
    Ha: The die is not fair.
  • α=0.10
  • The test statistic, χ20=38.933.

Determine the critical value using the following portion of the χ2-table.

df χ20.10 χ20.05 χ20.025 χ20.01 χ20.005
