Section of an oil field has been divided into 48 equal sub-areas. Counting the oil wells in the 48 sub-areas gives the following frequency distribution : Number of 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 oil wells Number of 5 10 11 10 6 4 0 2 sub-areas Is there any evidence from these data that the oil wells are not distributed randomly throughout the section of the oil field?

Question

Section of an oil field has been divided into 48 equal sub-areas. Counting the oil wells in the 48 sub-areas gives the following frequency distribution :

Number of 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
oil wells
Number of 5 10 11 10 6 4 0 2
sub-areas
Is there any evidence from these data that the oil wells are not distributed randomly throughout the section of the oil field?
