The observed frequencies agree with the expected proportions.
At least one of the observed frequencies do not agree with the expected proportions.
The observed frequencies agree with two of the expected proportions.
The observed frequencies agree with three of the expected proportions.
 
Calculate the test​ statistic, χ2.
 
Calculate the​ P-value.
 
What is the conclusion for this hypothesis​ test?
 
 
A.
Reject
H0.
There is
