For the births in Exercise 1,

a) If there is no seasonal effect, about how big, on average, would you expect the x2 statistic to be (what is the mean of the x2 distribution)?

b) Does the statistic you computed in Exercise 1 seem large in comparison to this mean? Explain briefly.

c) What does that say about the null hypothesis?

d) Find the a = 0.05 critical value for the x2 distribution with the appropriate number of df.

e) Using the critical value, what do you conclude about the null hypothesis at a = 0.05?
