A statistics department at a large university maintains a tutoring service for students in its introductory service courses. The service has been staffed with the expectation that 40 % of its clients would be from business statistics courses, 30 % from engineering statistics courses, 20 % from social sciences statistics courses, and 10% from agricultural statistics courses. A random sample of 120 clients revealed 52 from business, 38 from engineering, 21 from social sciences, and 9 from agriculture courses. Does this data suggest that the percentages on which staffing was based are not correct? State and test the relevant hypotheses using a significance level of α = 0.05.
