A business analyst is studying trends related to university majors in the United States. Specifically, she is interested in the enrollment proportions for various majors, and which majors are the most popular. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), the distribution of granted degrees by program category is given in the table below.

The analyst wants to determine if the distribution of degrees granted in 2012 differs from the distribution that NCES claims. She will use the chi-squared goodness-of-fit test.
a). State the null and alternative hypotheses that will be tested (convert the percentagesas probabilities).
b). The output from a computer program used to run the test is given below. Chi-squared test for given probabilities data: c(75, 95, 8, 31, 14, 43, 49, 22, 13, 9) X-squared = 40.6562, df = 9, p-value = 5.776e-06 Show the last two (2)--and only the last two-- calculations involved in the computation of the test statistic.
c). State the conclusion in the context of the problem, based either on the rejection region or p-value approach, at the 0.05 level.
Summary
The question belongs to Statistics and it discusses about making a hypothesis and using chi square test to test the hypothesis.

I had to choose my own research topic for my final year dissertation during my post graduate management course and I was really confused. I was not sure from where I can get a standard response matching the requirements of my New Zealand based university. I must admit that I was lucky to come across HwA as they have experts located in New Zealand who helped me with the assignment and more importantly helped me achieve grades, beyond expectation.

I was looking for help writing my case study on Stock Valuation. The case study needed specific stock valuation analysis work and I needed someone with good hold on the subject to write the case study analysis. At HwA I was paired with a finance assignment expert who had extensive industry experience. The quality of the assignment was absolutely brilliant and helped me score an A.
Tim Branagh Student
When the time came to do my final year research dissertation I came across HwA who not only helped me to write the paper but also at the same time enlightened me about the process of writing a proper research paper. I understood the basic difference between an essay and a research paper, thanks to the research paper writing experts of HwA.
Ann Bushnell Student
Excel formulas get me confused at the very basic level and to say that I was in deep waters with using Excel Solver in my math assignments would be an understatement. Thanks to the Excel Solver assignment help experts at HwA, I am now much more confident and my grades have improved.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
