_____ 1. A local retailer currently schedules employees based on the assumption that they serve customers
uniformly throughout the week (the same number each day). Management is starting to question
this assumption and decides to collect data on the number of customers served each day of the week
in order to perform a Chi-Square goodness-of-fit test at a 5% significance level.
