Records of randomly selected births were obtained and categorised based on the day of the week the birth occurred, which is provided below. Since babies are unaware of the tradition work week, it would be reasonable to assume the distribution of births would occur equally on each of the days of the week. At 1% level of significance, test the claim. Can you think of an explanation for the result?
