Conduct the hypothesis test and provide the test statistic and the criticalvalue, and state the conclusion.

A person randomly selected 100 checks and recorded the cents portions of those checks. The table below lists those cents portions categorized according to the indicated values. Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that the four categories are equally likely. The person expected that many checks for whole dollar amounts would result in a disproportionately high frequency for the firstcategory, but do the results support thatexpectation?

State the conclusion.

Reject/ do not reject H0. there is/ is not

sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the four categories are equally likely. The results do not appear/ appear to support the expectation that the frequency for the first category is disproportionately high.
