2 Part I.

Paste results here. 2. What a re we trying to show here? We are trying to check whether the side effects for all brands are same. So, hypotheses to test the above objective are set as follows: Null: The number of side effects of pain medicine are same for all four brands. Alternative: The number of side effects of pain medicine are not same for all four brands. 3. What is the p - value and what does it represent in the context of this problem? From the output, the P - vlue = 0.0057 Since the P - value is less than the significance level, 0.01, reject the null hypotheses. 4. State in your own words what the results of this Goodness - of - fit test tells us. Hence, it can be concluded that there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the number of side effects are not same for all medicines.
