Research Scenario 1:

A restaurant sells three kinds of desserts: chocolate cake, vanilla cheesecake, and tiramisu. If all three desserts are selling equally, then the restaurant owner will keep all three desserts on the menu. However, if some desserts are less popular than others, she would like to remove those items so she can increase her profits. Analyze the data from the restaurant to determine if the actual distribution of the dessert preference matches the expected distribution.

Test for the research question:
