) Among drivers who have had a car crash in the last year, 120 were randomly selected and categorized by age, with the results listed in the table below.
Age | Under 25 | 25-44 | 45-64 | Over 64 |
Drivers | 49 | 30 | 17 | 24 |
If all ages have the same crash rate, we would expect (because of the age distribution of licensed drivers) the given categories to have 16%, 44%, 27%, 13% of the subjects, respectively. At the 0.025 significance level, test the claim that the distribution of crashes conforms to the distribution of ages.
The test statistic is ?2=
The critical value is ?2=
The conclusion is
A. There is not sufficient evidence to warrant the
rejection of the claim that the distribution of crashes conforms to
the distibuion of ages.
B. There is sufficient evidence to warrant the
rejection of the claim that the distribution of crashes conforms to
the distibuion of ages.
