A die is rolled 300 times to test whether it is fair. The counts of each face are shown. Compute the chi-square goodness-of-fit statistic χ² for H₀: each face has probability 1/6.

n = 300k = 6

A chi-square goodness-of-fit test checks whether counts in 8 categories follow a Poisson distribution whose mean is estimated from the same data. How many degrees of freedom df does the test have?

The table shows observed counts. Test at α = 0.05 whether the two variables are independent (no continuity correction). Compute the test statistic χ², then compare it with the critical value from the table.

N = 1803 × 2α = 0.05
