A book claims that more hockey players are born in January through March than in October through December. The following data show the number of players selected in a draft of new players for a hockey league according to their birth month. Is there evidence to suggest that hockey​ players' birthdates are not uniformly distributed throughout the​ year? Use the level of significance .

Complete question :

Birth Month Frequency

January-March 67

April-June 56

July-September 30

October-December 37

Answer:

Yes, There is significant evidence to conclude that hockey​ players' birthdates are not uniformly distributed throughout the​ year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Observed value, O

Mean value, E

The test statistic :

χ² = (O - E)² / E

E = Σx / n = (67+56+30+37)/4 = 47.5

χ² = ((67-47.5)^2 /47.5) + ((56-47.5)^2 /47.5) + ((30-47.5)^2/47.5) + ((37-47.5)^2/47.5) = 18.295

Degree of freedom = (Number of categories - 1) = 4 - 1 = 3

Using the Pvalue from Chisquare calculator :

χ² (18.295 ; df = 3) = 0.00038

Since the obtained Pvalue is so small ;

P < α ; We reject H0 and conclude that there is significant evidence to suggest that hockey​ players' birthdates are not uniformly distributed throughout the​ year.
