The author purchased a slot machine (Bally Model 809) and tested it by playing it 1197 times. There are 10 different categories of outcomes, including no win, win jackpot, win with three bells, and so on. When testing the claim that the observed outcomes agree with the expected frequencies, the author obtained a test statistic of x^2 = 8.185. Use α = 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the actual outcomes agree with the expected frequencies. Does the slot machine appear to be functioning as expected?

    No the slot machine doesn't appear to function as expected.

    critical value is, 3.325.

    Since observed value is greater than critical value we can say that actual outcomes do not agree with the expected frequencies. The slot machine doesn't appear to function as expected.
