Assignment:
Conduct the hypothesis test and provide the test statistic, critical value and or P-value, and state the conclusion.
Births Records of randomly selected births were obtained and categorized according to the day of the week that they occurred (based on data from the National Center for Health Statistics). Because babies are unfamiliar with our schedule of weekdays, a reasonable claim is that births occur on the different days with equal frequency. Use a 0.01 significance level to test that claim. Can you provide an explanation for the result?
