Absences 37 15 12 23 43
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Does the data support her claim?
======================================
Expected value for each day is (1/5)(130) = 26
---
Ho: The proportions are all equal
Ha: The proportions are not all equal
I ran a Chi-Sq Goodness of Fit program on the data
and got the following:
test stat: Chi-Sq = 102.32..
p-value = 3.1526..x10^-21
----
Conclusion:Since the p-value is less than 5%, reject Ho.
The proportions are not all equal.
