**Goodness-of-Fit Test for Uniform Distribution: Analyzing Days for Family Time**

In a study involving a random sample of 770 subjects, participants were asked to identify the day of the week they consider best for quality family time. This analysis tests the hypothesis that these selections follow a uniform distribution, meaning each day has an equal probability of being chosen.

**Hypotheses:**

- **Null Hypothesis (H₀):** All days of the week have an equal chance of being selected.
- **Alternative Hypothesis (H₁):** At least one day of the week has a different chance of being selected.

**Test Parameters:**

- **Number of Categories (Days):** 7
- **Degrees of Freedom:** 6
- **Expected Frequency per Day:** 110.0000

**Results:**

- **Chi-Square Test Statistic (χ²):** 1384.851
- **Critical Value (χ²):** 12.592
- **P-Value:** 0.000

Given the calculated χ² statistic of 1384.851, which is significantly higher than the critical value of 12.592, and a P-value of 0.000, we reject the null hypothesis. This indicates that the days do not have an equal chance of being selected for family time, suggesting a non-uniform distribution in preferences.

**Conclusion:**

The data indicates a significant deviation from a uniform distribution, implying that certain days are more favored for family time.
