Question 25

Multiple Choice

Find the value of the chi-square test statistic for the goodness-of-fit test.
-You wish to test the claim that workplace accidents are distributed on workdays as follows: Monday: 25\%, Tuesday: 15%15 \% , Wednesday: 15%15 \% , Thursday: 15%15 \% , Friday: 30%30 \% . In a study of 100 workplace accidents, 24 occurred on a Monday, 15 occurred on a Tuesday, 13 occurred on a Wednesday, 14 occurred on a Thursday, and 34 occurred on a Friday. What is the value of the χ2\chi ^ { 2 } test statistic? The observed frequencies and the expected frequencies are shown below.
 Observed  Frequency (O)  Expected  Frequency (E)  24251515131514153430\begin{array}{r|c}\begin{array}{r}\text { Observed } \\\text { Frequency }(\mathrm{O}) \end{array} & \begin{array}{r}\text { Expected } \\\text { Frequency (E) }\end{array} \\\hline 24 & 25 \\15 & 15 \\13 & 15 \\14 & 15 \\34 & 30\end{array}


A) χ2=7.333\chi ^ { 2 } = 7.333
B) χ2=0.907\chi ^ { 2 } = 0.907
C) χ2=0.891\chi ^ { 2 } = 0.891
D) χ2=3.143\chi ^ { 2 } = 3.143
