A survey conducted at a regional university in the northern Midwest revealed that 5% of the students were underweight, 48% of the students were of a normal weight, 32% were overweight, and 15% were obese. The university initiated a multi-faceted health promotion intervention and re-evaluated student weight status again one year later. The results are displayed in Table 1 below:
Weight Status Underweight Normal weight Overweight Obese Total
Number of Students: 45 885 420 150 1500
Based on this data, is there evidence of a shift in the distribution of weight status following the implementation of the health promotion intervention on campus? Run the test at a 5% level of significance.
