A local brewery produces three premium lagers named Half Pint, XXX, and Dark Night. Of its premium lagers, they bottle 40% Half Pint, 40% XXX, and 20% Dark Night lagers. In a marketing test of a sample of consumers, 35 preferred the Half Pint lager, 36 preferred the XXX lager, and 9 preferred the Dark Night lager. Using a chi-square goodness-of-fit test, decide to retain or reject the null hypothesis that production of the premium lagers matches these consumer preferences using a 0.05 level of significance.
State the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
State the decision to retain or reject the null hypothesis.
