Answer to Question 1

H0: p1 = .08, p2 = .35, p3 = .40, p4 = .12, p5 = .05
H1: At least one proportion differs from their specified values
Rejection region: 2 > 2.05,4 = 9.488
Test statistic: 2 = 4.606
Conclusion: Cannot reject the null hypothesis. The actual grades do not deviate significantly from the posted grade distribution guidelines, according to the data.

Answer to Question 2

The payoff table is a table in which the rows are states of nature (events), and the columns are decision alternatives (acts), and the entry at each intersection of a row and column is a numerical payoff such as a profit or loss. The table may also include estimated probabilities for the states of nature.
