The following data were collected to determine whether the chance that a horse will win a race is influenced by its starting position. Data represent 144 races, each with exactly eight horses in the starting line-up. Starting position 1 is closest to the rail on the inside of the track. Please determine the angle of pie slice (in degrees) for values A-H and try to show as much work as possible. I assume the pie slice has something to do with the distribution, and not pastries.
