The distribution of majors at the college is shown below.
Major | Math/Science | Arts and Humanities | Business and Economics | Others |
Percents | 24 | 33 | 34 | 9 |
Suppose a random sample of 400 athletes from the college are surveyed. The table below shows the results of the survey.
Major | Math/Science | Arts and Humanities | Business and Economics | Others |
Frequency | 85 | 156 | 118 | 41 |
What can be concluded at the 0.05 level of significance? Perform the hypothesis test.

H0: The distribution of majors for athletes at the college is the same as the distribution of majors for the general population.
H1: The distribution of majors for athletes at the college is not the same as the distribution of majors for the general population.
p-Value = [ Select ] ["0.01", "0.03", "0.57", "0.00"] Round your answer to three decimal places.
Conclusion: [ Select ]
["There is insufficient evidence to conclude whether or not athletes' majors and the entire student body follow the same distribution."
["There is statistically significant evidence to support the claim that athletes' majors do not follow the same distribution as majors from the entire student body"]
Since, P-value < 0.05
We reject the null hypothesis
And conclude that
There is statistically significant evidence to support the claim that athletes' majors do not follow the same distribution as majors from the entire student body.
