Multiplication with exponents confuses me..

And on this case if we see the significance level given $\alpha=0.1$ we see that $p_v>alpha$ so we fail to reject the null hypothesis that the observed outcomes agree with the expected frequencies at 10% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

A chi-square goodness of fit test determines if a sample data obtained fit to a specified population.

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test

O= obserbed values

E= expected values

The system of hypothesis for this case are:

Null hypothesis: $O_i = E_i[/tex[Alternative hypothesis: [tex]O_i \neq E_i$

The statistic to check the hypothesis is given by:

$\chi^2 =\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{(O_i -E_i)^2}{E_i}$

On this case after calculate the statistic they got: $\chi^2 = 11.517$

And in order to calculate the p value we need to find first the degrees of freedom given by:

$df=n-1=10-1=9$ , where k represent the number of levels (on this cas we have 10 categories)

And in order to calculate the p value we need to calculate the following probability:

$p_v= P(\chi^2_{9}>11.517)=0.2419$

And on this case if we see the significance level given $\alpha=0.1$ we see that $p_v>alpha$ so we fail to reject the null hypothesis that the observed outcomes agree with the expected frequencies at 10% of significance.
