Employers want to know which days of the week employees are absent in a five-day workweek. Most employers would like to believe that employees are absent equally during the week. Suppose a random sample of managers were asked which day of the week they had the highest number of employee absences. The results were distributed as follows: The number of Absences on Monday was 17 The number of Absences on Tuesday was 17 The number of Absences on Wednesday was 4 The number of Absences on Thursday was 6 The number of Absences on Friday was 11 What is the Test Statistic to test the Hull Hypothesis that The absent days occur with equal frequencies (that is, they fit a uniform distribution) against the alternative Hypothesis that the absent days occur with unequal frequencies (that is, they do not fit a uniform distribution)?
