OPTIONS:

A. The pvalue 0.01 < standard significance level. The evidence against HO is strong. HO: "Distributions of colors are the same" is rejected.

B. The chi square statistic 5.8 does not exceeds the critical value of 15.99. pvalue 0.83. HO is not rejected at = 0.10 (sensitive, exploratory). Keep the status quo, or it is plausible that the distributions of colors are the same.

C. The pvalue 0.0000 < significance level. The evidence against HO is extreme. HO: "Distributions of colors are the same" is rejected.

D. The chi square statistic 5.54 does not exceeds the critical value of 23.21. HO is not rejected. Keep the status quo, or it is plausible that the distributions of colors are the same.

E. The pvalue 0.90 > alpha 0.05. HO is not rejected. Keep the status quo, or it is plausible that the distributions of colors are the same.

F. None of the answers are correct.
