If the observed and expected frequencies are very different from each other, it suggests that there may be a significant difference between the sample and population, making it more likely to reject the null hypothesis. This indicates that the sample may not be representative of the population or that something has influenced the sample. Therefore, the best choice is to reject the null hypothesis. Increasing the sample size may improve the accuracy of the results, but it will not address the issue of dissimilar observed and expected frequencies. H₁ is not a relevant option.
