Ho: proportions have not changed

H1: proportions have changed

Chi square test for Goodness of fitÂ Â
Â Â
expected frequncy,E = expected proportions*total frequencyÂ Â
total frequency=Â Â 194

category	observed frequencey, O	expected proportion	expected frequency,E	(O-E)Â²/E
very much	76	0.3100	60.14	4.183
moderately	105	0.5000	97	0.660
dissatisfied	13	0.1900	36.86	15.445

chi square test statistic,XÂ² = Î£(O-E)Â²/E =Â Â 20.287Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
level of significance, Î±=Â Â 0.1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Degree of freedom=k-1=Â Â 3Â Â -Â Â 1Â Â =Â Â 2

Critical value = Â Â 4.605 [ Excel function: =chisq.inv.rt(Î±,df) ]Â Â Â Â Â

since, test stat > critical value, reject Ho
