(a) Let p1,p2, p3, andp4 be the proportions of all viewers in eachage group who watch the station’s 11 p.m. news. If theseproportions are equal, then whether a viewer watches the station’s11 p.m. news is independent of the viewer’s age group. Therefore,we can test the null hypothesis H0 thatp1, p2,p3, and p4 are equal bycarrying out a chi-square test for independence. Perform this testby setting ? = .05. (Round your answer to 3 decimalplaces.)
