A die is rolled 60 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 = 60k = 6

A chi-square goodness-of-fit test compares observed counts in 7 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
