Question
The table below lists the frequency of wins for different post positions in a horse race. A post position of 1 is closest to the inside​ rail, so that horse has the shortest distance to run.​ (Because the number of horses varies from year to​ year, only the first 10 post positions are​ included.) Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the likelihood of winning is the same for the different post positions. Based on the​ result, should bettors consider the post position of a horse​ race?

Determine the null and alternative hypotheses.
 
H0​:
 
At least one post positions have a different frequency of wins than the others.
Wins occur with equal frequency in the different post positions.
Wins occur with all different frequency in the different post positions.
At least one post position has a different frequency of wins than the others.
H1​:
 
At least one post position has a different frequency of wins than the others.
Wins occur with equal frequency in the different post positions.
At least one post positions have a different frequency of wins than the others.
Wins occur with all different frequency in the different post positions.
Calculate the test​ statistic,
χ2.
 
χ2=nothing
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
Calculate the​ P-value.
 
​P-value=nothing
​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)
What is the conclusion for this hypothesis​ test?
 
 
A.
Fail to reject
H0.
There is
insufficient
evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the likelihood of winning is the same for the different post positions.
 
B.
Reject
H0.
There is
insufficient
evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the likelihood of winning is the same for the different post positions.
 
C.
Reject
H0.
There is
sufficient
evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the likelihood of winning is the same for the different post positions.
 
D.
Fail to reject
H0.
There is
sufficient
evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the likelihood of winning is the same for the different post positions..
Based on the​ result, should bettors consider the post position of a horse​ race?
 
 
No
