Problem 6

A wildlife biologist recorded the number of sightings of a bird species at different elevation ranges. The data is:
Table showing bird sightings at various elevation ranges: 0-500m (22), 500-1000m (84), 1000-1500m (143), 1500-2000m (101), 2000-2500m (50).
Test the claim that the distribution of sightings is normally distributed using a chi-square goodness-of-fit test at the 0.050.05 significance level.
