A college prep school advertises that their students are more prepared to succeed in college than other schools. To
verify this, they categorize GPA’s into 4 groups and look up the proportion of students at a state college in each
category. They find that 7% have a 0-0.99, 21% have a 1-1.99, 37% have a 2-2.99, and 35% have a 3-4.00 in GPA.
They then take a random sample of 200 of their graduates at the state college and find that 19 has a 0-0.99, 28 have a
1-1.99, 82 have a 2-2.99, and 71 have a 3-4.00.
Can they conclude that the grades of their graduates are distributed differently than the general population at the
school? Test at the 0.05 level of significance.
Enter the test statistic - round to 4 decimal places.

A company manager believes that a person’s ability to be a leader is directly correlated to their zodiac sign. He never
selects someone to chair a committee without first evaluating their zodiac sign. An irate employee sets out to prove
her manager wrong. She claims that if zodiac sign truly makes a difference in leadership, then a random sample of 210
CEO’s in our country would reveal a difference in zodiac sign distribution. She finds the following zodiac signs for her
random sample of 210 CEO’s:
