Employers want to know which days of the week employees have the highest num- ber of absences in a five-day work week. Most employers would like to believe that employees are absent equally during the week. Suppose a random sample of 60 managers are asked on which day of the week they had the highest number of employee absences. The results are recorded in the table below. Day of the week Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Observed Frequency 15 11 10 9 15 At the 5% significance level, do we have enough evidence to suggest that the day of the week with the highest number of absences occur with equal frequency during a five-day work week.
