asp?1t1), there were 11,673.3 international migrants in Latin America and the Caribbean, 49.9% of whom were women. The following table shows the total number of female international migrants from Melanesia, which consists of five independent countries namely Fiji, New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu:

a) If the female international migrants’ rate for each country of Melanesian region were the same as the total female international migrants in the year 2019, how many female international migrants would you expect there to be for each country?

b) To test whether these countries have different rates of female international migrants, will you perform a goodness-offit test, a test of homogeneity, or a test of independence?

c) State the hypotheses.

d) Check the conditions.

e) Find the standardized residuals and the chi-square components.
(Hint: Use a spreadsheet to perform the calculations.)

f) State the number of degrees of freedom and find x2 and the P-value.
g) State your conclusion.
h) What can you conclude about the male and female international migrants in each country of the Melanesian region?
