Let the frequencies be substantially different if any frequency is at least twice any other frequency. Does it appear that these births occur on the days of the week with equal frequency?
Yes, it appears that births occur on the days of the week with frequencies that are exactly the same.
Yes, it appears that births occur on the days of the week with frequencies that are about the same.
No, it appears that births occur on the days of the week with frequencies that are substantially different.

Do these data support the hypothesis that fatal bicycle accidents are not equally likely to occur in each of the 3-hour time periods used to construct the table? Test the relevant hypotheses using a significance level of a = 0.05. Let P1. P2: P3: P4 Ps: Pe: P7, and Pg be the proportions of accidents occurring in the eight different time periods. State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses. O Ho: P1 = P2 = P3 = P4 = Ps = P6 = P7 = Pg = 816 H: Ho is not true.
