An archeologist is calculating the distribution of the frequency of the number of artifacts she finds in a dig site. Based on
previous digs, the archeologist creates an expected distribution broken down by grid sections in the dig site. Once the site has been fully excavated, she compares the actual number of artifacts found in each grid section to see if her expectation was accurate.

The expected percentage of the number of pets students have in their homes is distributed (this is the given distribution for the student population of the United States) as in Table 11.12.
A random sample of students from the Eastern United States resulted in the data in Table 11.13.
At the significance level, does it appear that the distribution 鈥渘umber of pets鈥 of students in the Eastern United States is different from the distribution for the United States student population as a whole? What is the p-value?
