,1. A researcher is investigating the number of female cubs present in litters of size 4 He
believes that the number of female cubs in a litter can be modelled by B(4, 0.5) He
randomly selects 100 litters each of size 4 and records the number of female cubs.
The results are recorded in the table below.
Number of female cubs 0 1 2 3 4
Observed number of litters 10 33 33 15 9
He calculated the expected frequencies as follows
Number of female cubs 0 1 2 3 4
Expected number of litters 6.25 r s r 6.25
(a) Find the value of r and the value of s
(3)
(b) Carry out a suitable test, at the 5% level of significance, to determine whether or not
the number of female cubs in a litter can be modelled by B(4, 0.5)
You should clearly state your hypotheses and the critical value used.
