(A) A particular report from 2004 classified 718 fatal bicycle accidents according to the month in which the accident occurred, resulting in the accompanying table.

January 38  

March 43

April 60

May 79

June 73

July 97

August 83

September 63

October 67

November 44

Febuary 31

December 40

 

Use the given data to test the null hypothesis H0: ?1 = 1/12, ?2 = 1/12, . . . , ?12 = 1/12, where ?1 is the proportion of fatal bicycle accidents that occur in January, ?2 is the proportion for February, and so on. Use a significance level of 0.01. (Use 2 decimal places.)
?2 = 

 

(B) The null hypothesis in Part (a) specifies that fatal accidents were equally likely to occur in any of the 12 months. But not all months have the same number of days. Test the hypotheses proposed in H0: ?4 = ?6 = ?9 = ?11 = 


30/366 ≈ 0.082, ?2 = 29/366 ≈ 0.085 using a 0.05 significance level. (Use 2 decimal places.)≈ 0.079, ?1 = ?3 = ?5 = ?7 = ?8 = ?10 = ?12 = 31/366
