Factors calculated as (20+180)/(100+300)=0.5, (6+34)/(100+300)=0.1, (30+20)/(100+300)=0.2, (44+36)/(100+300)=0.2

x^2STAT=E(f0-fe)^2/fe

            =(20-50)^2/50+(6-10)^2/10+……..(36-60)^2/60

            =18+1.6+5+28.8+6+0.533333+1.666667+9.6

            =71.2

a at 0.05 with three DF is 7.8147. 71.2 is greater than 7.8147. Hence, reject the null hypothesis.
