Among drivers who have had a car crash in the last year, 140 were randomly selected and categorized by age, with the results listed in the table below.
Age
Under 25
25-44
45-64

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 0.05 significance level, test the claim that the distribution of crashes conforms to the distribution of ages.
The test statistic is
The critical value is
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.
