Is the distribution of marital categories in the GSS representative of their distributions in the population? Let’s assume that in the U.S.:  married = 48%, widowed = 6%, divorced = 12%, separated = 2%, never married = 32%.  In the 2018 GSS, MARITAL is coded:  1=married, 2=widowed, 3=divorced, 4=separated, and 5=never married.  Interpret the output and provide the output from this test as a part of your answer.  Discuss your interpretation of the results using APA format.
