Test for goodness-of-fit, When such digits are randomly

Test for goodness-of-fit

Reference no: EM1393552

A New York Times/CBS News Poll typically involves the selection of random digits to be used for telephone numbers. The New York Times states that "within each (telephone) exchange, random digits were added to form a complete telephone number, thus permitting access to listed and unlisted numbers." When such digits are randomly generated, what is the distribution of those digits? Given such randomly generated digits, what is a test for "goodness-of-fit"?
