Here are the observed frequencies from four categories: 5, 6, 8, 13. Assume we want to use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the four categories are all equally likely. (Goodness of fit test) What is the null hypothesis? What are the expected frequency for each of the four categories? What is the value of the test statistic? What is the critical value? What do you conclude about the given claim?

Conduct the hypothesis test and provide the test statistic and the critical value, and state the conclusion. K A person randomly selected 100 checks and recorded the cents portions of those checks. The table below lists those cents portions categorized according to the indicated values. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the four categories are equally likely. The person expected that many checks for whole dollar amounts would result in a disproportionately high frequency for the first category, but do the results support that expectation?
