Question

Pamplona, Spain is the home of the festival of San Fermin – The Running of the Bulls. The town is in festival mode for a week and a half every year at the beginning of July. There is a running joke in the city, that Pamplona has a baby boom every April – 9 months after San Fermin. To test this claim, a resident takes a random sample of 200 birthdays from native residents and finds the following observed counts:

January	17		July	13
February	19		August	16
March	16		September	18
April	24		October	16
May	15		November	14
June	16		December	16

At the 0.05 level of significance, can it be concluded that births in Pamplona are not equally distributed throughout the 12 months of the year?
