Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question involves comparing the population proportion of three categories, which is a multinomial experiment. Therefore, the most appropriate test is the goodness-of-fit test for a multinomial experiment. Choice B is not appropriate because it is used to test for independence between two variables. Choice C is not appropriate because it is used to test for normality of a distribution. Choice D is not appropriate because it is also used to test for normality of a distribution, but is specifically designed for small sample sizes.
