Work Step by Step

The null hypothesis says that the population proportions are equal to each other and thus equal to one divided by the number of categories: $H_0:p_1=p_2=p_3=p_4=p_5=p_6=p_7=\frac{1}{7}\approx0.1429$ The alternative hypothesis says the opposite of the null hypothesis, which is that at least one of the proportions doesn't equal all the others. The expected frequencies are $E_i=n\cdot p_i$.
