Chi-square goodness of fit statistic

A random sample of size 40 is drawn from a population having four distinct categories as i=1,2,3,4i = 1,2,3,4. The data are given as | Category | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | |—|—|—|—|—| | Observed Frequency | 5 | 8 | 12 | 15 | Let θi\theta_i be the probability that an observation comes from the ii-th category, i=1,2,3,4i = 1,2,3,4. If the chi-square goodness-of-fit test is used to test H0:θi=14,i=1,2,3,4H_0: \theta_i = \frac14, i = 1,2,3,4 against H1:θi≠14H_1: \theta_i \ne \frac14 for some i=1,2,3,4i = 1,2,3,4, then which one of the following statements is true?
