What is the statistical decision regarding the differences between the observed and expected frequencies if the critical value of chi-square is 9.488 and the computed value is 6.079

Fail to reject.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a goodness of fit test the decision rule is:

If the calculated value of the test statistic is more than the right tailed critical value of chi-square, then the null hypothesis will be rejected.

The hypothesis for a goodness of fit test is:

H₀: There is no differences between the observed and expected frequencies.

Hₐ: There is a significant differences between the observed and expected frequencies.

The computed value of the test statistic is, 6.079.

The critical value of chi-square is 9.488.

Calculated test statistic < Critical value

                            6.079 < 9.488

Thus, the null hypothesis was failed to rejected.

option a.

step-by-step explanation:

if you look closely at the graph, we can notice that the function is not defined at two different points.

if you look at functions b and c, you will notice that both functions are not defined at just one point. the function b is not defined at x= -5/2 and function c is not defined at x=-5. both options are discarded, given that our function should not be defined at two fiferent points.

now, if you look closely at the graph you will notice that the function sketched is not defined at x=5 and x=-2.
