A large department store is curious about what sections of the store make the most sales. The manager has data from ten years prior that show 30% of sales come from Clothing, 25% Home Appliances, 18% Housewares, 13% Cosmetics, 12% Jewelry, and 2% Other. In a random sample of 550 current sales, 188 came from Clothing, 153 Home Appliances, 83 Housewares, 54 Cosmetics, 61 Jewelry, and 11 Other. At α=0.10, can the manager conclude that the distribution of sales among the departments has changed? Enter the p-value - round to 4 decimal places. Make sure you put a 0 in front of the decimal.

Based on the information given, the null hypothesis will be that there's no difference in the distribution of current sales.

The alternate hypothesis will be that's there's a difference in the distribution of current sales.

Also, it should be noted that the test statistic is 23.0951. The p-value is 0.00003 and the conclusion is that the distribution of sales among the departments has changed.
