In 2017 the Pew Research Center published a report on the demographics of the U.S. military. The following table shows the ethnic breakdown of active-duty U.S. military services and the ethnic breakdown of the U.S. population. Would it be appropriate to use the data in the table to conduct a chisquare goodness of fit test to determine if the ethnic breakdown of the military matches the ethnic distribution of the U.S. population? If so, do the test. If not, explain why it would be inappropriate to do so.
