A chi-square goodness-of-fit test compares observed counts in 8 categories with fully specified expected proportions (no parameters are estimated from the data). Using the table, find the critical value χ²crit at significance level α = 0.01.

α = 0.01

6.Hard

A chi-square goodness-of-fit test checks whether counts in 5 categories follow a Poisson distribution whose mean is estimated from the same data. How many degrees of freedom df does the test have?

k = 5
df =
