Q2 A variable contains five categories. It is expected that data are uniformly distributed across these five categories. To test this, a sample of observed data is gathered on this variable resulting in frequencies of 27, 30, 29, 21, and 24. Using α = .01, the critical value of chi-square is _______.
7.78
15.09
9.24
13.28

Q3 A variable contains five categories. It is expected that data are uniformly distributed across these five categories. To test this, a sample of observed data is gathered on this variable resulting in frequencies of 27, 30, 29, 21, and 24. Using α = .01, the appropriate decision is _______.
reject the null hypothesis that the observed distribution is uniform
reject the null hypothesis that the observed distribution is not uniform
do not reject the null hypothesis that the observed distribution is uniform
do not reject the null hypothesis that the observed distribution is not uniform
do nothing
