t a large midwestern university entering freshmen have historically selected the following colleges: College Business Education Engineering Liberal Arts Sciences Percentages 15% 20% 30% 25% 10% Data obtained for the most recent class show that 73 students selected business, 105 selected education, 150 selected engineering, 124 chose liberal arts, and 47 selected sciences. Calculate the test statistic and the p-value if testing if the most recent class follows the historical figures. State your answer accurate to three decimal places.
Contingency Table
A contingency table can be defined as the visual representation of the relationship between two or more categorical variables that can be evaluated and registered. It is a categorical version of the scatterplot, which is used to investigate the linear relationship between two variables. A contingency table is indeed a type of frequency distribution table that displays two variables at the same time.
Binomial Distribution
Binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. Before knowing about binomial distribution, we must know about the binomial theorem.
