The types of raw materials used to construct stone tools found at an archaeological site are shown below. A random sample of 1486 stone tools were obtained from a current excavation site.
Raw material Regional percent of stone tools Observed number of tools as current excavation site
Basalt 61.3% 905
Obsidian 10.6% 150
Welded Tuff 11.4% 162
Pedernal chert 13.1% 207
Other 3.6% 62
Use a 1%1% level of significance to test the claim that the regional distribution of raw materials fits the distribution at the current excavation site.
(a) What is the level of significance?
(b) Find the value of the chi-square statistic for the sample.
(Round the expected frequencies to at least three decimal places. Round the test statistic to three decimal places.)
What are the degrees of freedom?
