Consider a goodness-of-fit test with a computed value of chi-square = 1.273 and a critical value = 13.388,the appropriate conclusion would be to: A)reject H₀. B)fail to reject H₀. C)take a larger sample. D)take a smaller sample.

The computed value of chi-square is much smaller than the critical value, so we fail to reject the null hypothesis H₀. There is not enough evidence to conclude that the observed data significantly deviates from the expected distribution. Taking a larger or smaller sample is not appropriate in this situation.
