Chi-square goodness-of-fit test


A recent report claims that 45% of enlisted personnel who've spent at least four years and no more than ten in the service complete bachelor's degree, 25% complete some college work, 15% don't seek additional college-level training, and 15% are not accounted for. You wish to see how the frequencies found in population compare with the particular local Navy base, so you take simple random sample of 500 enlisted sailors who've completed between four and 10 years in Navy. You find out that 275 completed the college degree, 88 have completed some college work, 37 haven't sought additional college-level training, and the rest of sailors aren't accounted for. How does your sample compare to what you expected to find?
