2. A case-control (or retrospective) study was conducted to investigate a relationship between the colors of helmets worn by motorcycle drivers and whether they are injured or killed in a crash. Results are given in the table below (based on data from “Motorcycle Rider Conspicuity and Crash Related Injury: Case-Control Study”, by Wells et al., BMJ USA, Vol. 4). 1. Test the claim that injuries are independent of helmet color, using chisq.test function in R at a 0.05 significance level. Please state the hypothesis, present a screenshot of the R output for this test, and provide your conclusion in the context of the problem. 2. Should motorcycle drivers choose helmets with a particular color? If so, which color appears best? Provide your justification.
