Partition the likelihood ratio test statistic into 6 independent 1 df components. What conclusions can you draw from these components?
What is the value of the maximum likelihood estimate, θ, of θ based on these data? Justify your answer. What does the value of θ suggest about the value of θ for this biased die compared with the value of θ associated with a fair, unbiased, die?

- The chi-squared goodness-of-fit test can be used to test if data comes from a specific continuous distribution by binning the data to make it categorical. Using the OpenIntro Statistics county_complete dataset, test the hypothesis that the persons_per_household 2019 values come from a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation equal to that variable's mean and standard deviation.
