1 ----- 45

2 ----- 55

3 ----- 60

4 ----- 50

------------

250

What is your conclusion about the fairness of the lottery at the 5% level of significance?

a.Test statistic = 7.81 / critical value = 3.84, so reject the null hypothesis

b.Test statistic = 5.00/ critical value = 9.49, so do notreject the null hypothesis

c.Test statistic = 4.94 / critical value = 3.84, so reject the null hypothesis

d.Test statistic = 5.00 / critical value = 7.81, so do notreject the null hypothesis
