A
sample of the motor vehicle deaths is randomly selected for a two year period . The number of fatalities is
listed below fot he different days of the week. At the 0.05 significance level, test the claim that accidents
occur on different days with equal frequency.
H0: There is no significant differerce between the proportion of fatalities on different week days
H0:p1=p2=p3=p4=p5=p6=p7=1/7
H1: At least one of these proportions is incorrect

The interest is to test the hypothesis that the median value of a distribution is 19 against the alternative
hypothesis that it is greater than 19. A sample of 24 observations is taken with the following results:
