Essay

Perform the indicated goodness-of-fit test. Be sure to state the hypotheses and the significance level, to obtain the criticalvalue, to compute the value of the test statistic, and to state your conclusion.
-The U.S. Department of Defense provides data on the distribution of military personnel on active duty by branch of service. Below is a table giving the percentage distribution for 1985.
