35) H0: The die is fair (all numbers occur with equal frequency).
H1: The die is not fair.
Test statistic: 2 = 19.25. Critical value: 2 = 11.070. Reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to warrant
rejection of the claim that the die is fair.
36) H0: The proportions of responses are all equal.
H1: The proportions of responses are not all equal.
Test statistic: 2 = 1.875. Critical value: 2 = 9.488. Fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence to
warrant rejection of the claim that the responses occur with the same frequency.
