a.) What's the alternative and null hypothesis?

b.) What's the test statistic and degrees of freedom?

c.) What's the p-value and conclusion at the 1% level significance? 

The types of raw materials used to construct stone tools found at the archaeological
site Casa del Rito are shown below (Bandelier Archaeological Excavation Project,
edited by Kohler and Root). A random sample of 1486 stone tools was obtained from a
current excavation site. Use a 1% level of significance to test the claim that the
regional distribution of raw materials fits the distribution at the current excavation
site.
