TopicChi-squared distribution

5 A researcher is investigating births of females and males in a particular species of animal which very often produces litters of 7 offspring.
The table shows some data about the number of females per litter in 200 litters of 7 offspring. The researcher thinks that a binomial distribution \(\mathrm { B } ( 7 , p )\) may be an appropriate model for these data. (c) Complete the test at the \(5 \%\) significance level. Fig. 5 shows the probability distribution \(\mathrm { B } ( 7,0.35 )\) together with the relative frequencies of the observed data (the numbers of litters each divided by 200). \begin{figure}[h]
