QUESTION:

A 2012 study reported that the opinions of U.S. adults regarding the the issue of abortion has the following distribution:

Legal in all cases	Legal in most cases	Illegal in most cases	Illegal in all cases	Unsure
.23	.31	.23	.16	.07

700 randomly chosen U.S. adults were recently asked about their opinions regarding abortion and the data showed that:

154 responded that abortion should be legal in call cases
252 responded that abortion should be legal in most cases
160 responded that abortion should be illegal in most cases
98 responded that abortion should illegal in all cases
36 were unsure.

ANSWER:

We have evidence to conclude that the data do not fit the distribution reported by 2012 study.

This is correct. Since the p-value is between 0.01 and 0.02, then p-value < 0.05 and therefore we can reject H0 and conclude that the data do not fit the distribution reported by the 2012 study.
