TopicChi-squared distribution

5 In an investigation into the possible relationship between smoking and weight in adults in a particular country, a researcher selected a random sample of 500 adults.
The adults in the sample were classified according to smoking status (non-smoker, light smoker or heavy smoker, where light smoker indicates less than 10 cigarettes per day) and body weight (underweight, normal weight or overweight). Fig. 5 is a screenshot showing part of the spreadsheet used to calculate the contributions for a chisquared test. Some values in the spreadsheet have been deliberately omitted. \begin{table}[h]
