Conduct the hypothesis test and provide the test statistic and the critical value, and state the conclusion.

A person randomly selected 100 checks and recorded the cents portions of those checks. The table below lists those cents portions categorized according to the indicated values. Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that the four categories are equally likely. The person expected that many checks for whole dollar amounts would result in a disproportionately high frequency for the first category, but do the results support that expectation?

Cents portion of check 0-24 25-49 50-74 75-99

Number 32 22 19 27

The test statistic is?

The critical value is?

State the conclusion?
