In studying the occurrence of genetic characteristics, the following sample data were obtained. You would like to test the claim that the characteristics occur with the same
Frequency at the 0.05 significance level. What is value of the test statistic? $\begin{array}{l|cccccc}
\text { Characteristic } & \text { A } & \text { B } & \text { C } & \text { D } & \text { E } & \text { F } \
\hline \text { Frequency } & 28 & 30 & 45 & 48 & 39 & 39
\end{array}$

A) $\chi ^ { 2 } = 8.263$
B) $\chi ^ { 2 } = 5.991$
C) $t = 8.263$
D) $\chi ^ { 2 } = 5.821$
