Question: Flat tire and Missed class: A classic tale involves four students who missed a test and gave as an excuse a flat tire. On the make-up test the instructor asked the students to identify the tire that went flat. If they really didn’t have a flat tire, would they be able to identify the same tire? The author asked 41 other students to identify the tire they would select. The results are listed below, (except for one student who selected the spare.) Use a 0.05 significance level to test the author’s claim that the results fit in a uniform distribution. What does the result suggest about the students ability to pick the same tire when they really didn’t have a flat tire?
