A student investigated the chance of getting viral fever for a period of a school that took vitamin tablets every day.
A student investigated whether taking vitamin tablets every day for a school term affected peoples chances of getting a Viral fever during the period. The total number of students 880. In that 639 students didn't get viral fever and 241 students got fever .But the expected ratio is 1:3.
'''Answer''':
If the ratio is 1:3 and the total number of observed individuals is 880, then the expected numerical values should be 660 didn't get and 220 students will get that fever.

(oi-ei)^2/ei 0.668 2
The x^2 value is 2.668
Now df=(r-1)(c-1)=(2-1)(2-1)=1
From the chisquared distribution probability table with df is 1 for the X^2 value 2.668 is 0.10.
i.e CHITEST(or,er)=0.10"
