Statistics homework please help!


A wholesaler has recently developed a computerized sales invoicing system. Prior to implementing this system, a manual system was used. The distribution of the number of errors per invoice for the manual system is as follows 
 
Errors per invoice                    0        1        2          3       More than 3 
Percentage of invoices           87%    8%     3%      1%      1% 
 
After implementation of the computerized system, a random sample of 500 invoice gives the following error distribution: 
 
Error per invoice                     0          1        2        3       More than 3 
Number of invoices             479        10        8          2            1 
 
a. Show that it is appropriate to carry out a chi-square test using these data. 
b. Use the following Excel output to determine whether the error percentages for the computerized system differ from those for the manual system at the 0.5 level of significance. What do you

i am not sure what "chi-square" is

but the answer to b. should be 

0 errors : 479/500 = 95.8%  ; 1 error: 10/500 = 2% ; 2 errors: 8/500 = 1.6% ; 3 errors: 2/500 = 0.4% ; more than 3 erros: 1/500 = 0.1%

 

in all you get 99.9 and not 100
