--------------
Ho: The proportions are all equal
Ha: At least one of the proportions is different.
---------------------------------------------------
Run a Chi-Sq on the data with Expected value for a,b,c,d,e = 10
---------------------------------------------------
To generate the test statistic:
1. Find (observed - expected)^2/expected for a,b,c,d,e
2. Add those results
Test statistic = 2.6
------------------------
Critical value for 1-tail Chi-Sq with alpha=5% and df=10-1=9 is 16.919
------------------------
Since 2.6 < 16.919, Fail to reject Ho.
The proportions are equal; the distribution is statistically uniform.
-------------------------------
