Question

We use the same statistical set-up as above. In particular, our test-statistic is

T_ n = n \sum _{j = 1}^6 \frac{(\widehat{p }_ j - \frac{1}{6} )^2}{\frac{1}{6} }.

You use a test of the form

\psi _ n = \mathbf{1}\left( T_ n > C \right).

What value of C should be chosen so that \psi is a test of asymptotic level 5 \%? Give a numerical value with at least 2 decimals.

Use this table to find the quantiles of a chi-squared distribution.

To find the appropriate value of C for a test of asymptotic level 5%, we need to determine the critical value from the chi-squared distribution.

The test statistic T_n follows a chi-squared distribution with 6 degrees of freedom under the null hypothesis.

Using the chi-squared distribution table, we need to find the value of C such that the probability of observing a test statistic greater than C is equal to 5%.

Looking at the table, the closest probability value we can find is 0.05, which corresponds to the critical value of 12.59.

Therefore, the value of C should be chosen as 12.59 for the test to have an asymptotic level of 5%.
