According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, 21% of the population lives in the Northeast, 24% in the Midwest, 35% in the South, and 20% in the West. Listed below is a breakdown of a sample of 400 orders randomly selected from those shipped last month.
 

Region Frequency
Northeast   68  
Midwest   104  
South   155  
West   73  
Total   400  
 

 

 
a. State the decision rule. Use the 0.01 significance level. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
 
H0: πne = 0.21, πm = 0.24, πs = 0.35, and πw = 0.20
 
H1: The distribution is not as given.
 

b. Complete the following table. (Round (fo - fe)2/fe to 4 decimal places. Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round χ2 to 4 decimal places.)
 

a. State the decision rule. Use the 0.01 significance level. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
