Question
Many track hurdlers believe that they have a better chance of winning if they start in the inside lane that is closest to the field. For the data below, the lane closest to the field is Lane 1, the next lane is Lane 2, and so on until the outermost lane, Lane 6. The data lists the number of wins for track hurdlers in the different starting positions. Calculate the chi-square test statistic 
to test the claim that the probabilities of winning are the same in the different positions. 
The results are based on 240 wins. 
A) 12.592
B) 15.541
C) 6.750
D) 9.326

The results of a recent national survey reported that 70% of Americans recycle at least some of the time. As part of their final project in statistics class, Nayla and Roberto survey 5 random students on campus and ask them if they recycle at least some of the time. They then repeat this experiment 1000 times. The results of their research are shown below. 
Is there evidence to support the belief that the random variable X, the number of students out of 5 who recycle at least some of the time, is a binomial random variable with
