A medical journal reported the following frequencies of deaths due to cardiac arrest for each day of the week:
Cardiac Death by Day of the Week
Day f
Monday 40
Tuesday 17
Wednesday 16
Thursday 29
Friday 15
Saturday 20
Sunday 17
We want to determine whether the number of deaths is uniform over the week.
a. Compute the test statistic.
b. Using the p-value approach at 95% confidence, test for the uniformity of death over the week.
c. Using the critical value approach, perform the test for uniformity.
