Here is the question:
A random sample of 385 Skittles candies found the following color distribution: 81 Red,74 Orange, 74 Yellow, 91 Green, and 65 Purple. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the population color frequencies are not the same? Test at the
α= 0.01 level of significance.
In order to calculate the test statistic, I need to have the observed and expected distributions - correct? How do I find the expected distribution?
