A highway department executive claims that the number of fatal accidents which occur in her state does not vary from month to month. The results of a study of 193 fatal accidents were recorded. Is there enough evidence to reject the highway department executive's claim about the distribution of fatal accidents between each month?

This question is incomplete, the complete question;

A highway department executive claims that the number of fatal accidents which occur in her state does not vary from month to month. The results of a study of 193 fatal accidents were recorded. Is there enough evidence to reject the highway department executive's claim about the distribution of fatal accidents between each month? Month Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Fatal Accidents 11 13 22 11 15 29 15 9 13 15 22 18

Step 10 of 10 : State the conclusion of the hypothesis test at the 0.1 level of significance.

H₀ : The distribution of fatal accidents between each month is same

Step-by-step explanation:

H₀ : The distribution of fatal accidents between each month is same

H₁ : The distribution of fatal accidents between each month is different

Let the los be alpha 0.10

Total:   193     93                22.689119

Expected Freq ⇒ 193 / 12 = 16.08333

Test Statistic, x² : 22.6891

Num Categories: 12

Degrees of freedom: 12 - 1 = 11

Critical value X² : 24.725

P-Value: 0.0195

since Chi-square value < Chi-square critical value

and P-value > alpha 0.01 so we accept H₀

Therefore we conclude that the distribution of fatal accidents between each month is same
