The contestants on the TV show American Idol try to win a singing contest. At one point, the web site WhatNotToSing.com listed the actual numbers of eliminations for different orders of singing, and the expected number of eliminations was also listed. The results are in the table below. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the actual eliminations agree with the expected numbers. Does there appear to be support for the claim that the leadoff singers appear to be at a disadvantage?

Conduct the hypothesis test and provide the test statistic, critical value, and/or P-value, and state the conclusion.
