Part 1
Determine the null and alternative hypotheses.
 
Upper H 0H0​:
 
At least two days have a different frequency of births than the other days.
Births occur with all different frequencies on the different days of the week.
Births occur with the same frequency on the different days of the week.
At least one day has a different frequency of births than the other days.
Upper H 1H1​:
 
Births occur with the same frequency on the different days of the week.
Births occur with all different frequencies on the different days of the week.
At least one day has a different frequency of births than the other days.
At least two days have a different frequency of births than the other days.
Part 2
Calculate the test​ statistic,
chi squaredχ2.
 
chi squaredχ2equals=enter your response here
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
Part 3
Calculate the​ P-value.
 
​P-valueequals=enter your response here
​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)

What is the conclusion for this hypothesis​ test?
 
 
A.
Fail to rejectFail to reject
Upper H 0H0.
There is
