Employers want to know which days of the week employees are absent in a five-day workweek. Most employers would like to believe that employees are absent equally during the week. Suppose a random sample of managers were asked which day of the week they had the highest number of employee absences. The results were distributed as follows: The number of Absences on Monday was 6 The number of Absences on Tuesday was 4 The number of Absences on Wednesday was 15 The number of Absences on Thursday was 3 The number of Absences on Friday was 7 What is the Test Statistic to test the Hull Hypothesis that The absent days occur with equal frequencies (that is, they fit a uniform distribution) against the alternative Hypothesis that the absent days occur with unequal frequencies (that is, they do not fit a uniform distribution)?

Employers want to know which days of the week employees are absent in a five-day workweek. Most employers would like to believe that employees are absent equally during the week. Suppose a random sample of managers were asked which day of the week they had the highest number of employee absences. The results were distributed as follows:

The number of Absences on Monday was 6

The number of Absences on Tuesday was 4

The number of Absences on Wednesday was 15

The number of Absences on Thursday was 3

The number of Absences on Friday was 7

What is the Test Statistic to test the Hull Hypothesis that The absent days occur with equal frequencies (that is, they fit a uniform distribution) against the alternative Hypothesis that the absent days occur with unequal frequencies (that is, they do not fit a uniform distribution)?
