11.3 Exercise 5

Avg difficulty 2.5

Teachers want to know which night each week their students are doing most of their homework. Most teachers think that students do homework equally throughout the week. Suppose a random sample of 56 students were asked on which night of the week they did the most homework. The results were distributed as in the table.

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday
Number of students 11 8 10 7 10 5 5

From the population of students, do the nights for the highest number of students doing the majority of their homework occur with equal frequencies during a week? What type of hypothesis test should you use?
