Married with children 26%         98            
Married, no children 29%         110            
Single parent 9%         32            
One person 25%         99            
Other (e.g., roommates, siblings) 11%         72            

Use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that the distribution of U.S. households fits the Dove Creek distribution.
