2 1. A researcher is investigating the number of female cubs present in litters of size 4 He believes that the number of female cubs in a litter can be modelled by B(4, 0.5) He randomly selects 100 litters each of size 4 and records the number of female cubs. The results are recorded in the table below. Number of female cubs 0 1 2 3 4 Observed number of litters 10 33 33 15 9 He calculated the expected frequencies as follows Number of female cubs 0 1 2 3 4 Expected number of litters 6.25 r s r 6.25 (a) Find the value of r and the value of s (3) (b) Carry out a suitable test, at the 5% level of significance, to determine whether or not the number of female cubs in a litter can be modelled by B(4, 0.5) You should clearly state your hypotheses and the critical value used.
