Let x be a random variable that represents the average daily temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) in January for the town of Hana, Maui. The x variable has a mean μ of approximately 68oF and standard deviation σ of approximately 4oF. A 20-year study (620 January days) gave the entries in the rightmost column of the following table:

(i) Remember that μ = 68 and σ = 4. Examine Figure 7-3 in Chapter 7. Write a brief explanation for columns I, II, and III in the context of this problem.
(ii) Use a 1% level of significance to test the claim that the average daily January temperature follows a normal distribution with μ = 68 and σ = 4.
Please provide the following information.
(a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses.
(b) Find the value of the chi-square statistic for the sample. Are all the expected frequencies greater than 5? What sampling distribution will you use? What are the degrees of freedom?
(c) Find or estimate the P-value of the sample test statistic.
(d) Based on your answers in parts (a)€“(c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis that the population fits the specified distribution of categories?
(e) Your conclusion in the context of the application.
