A traffic safety company publishes reports about motorcycle fatalities and helmet use. In the first accompanying data table, the distribution shows the proportion of fatalities by location of injury for motorcycle accidents. The second data table shows the location of injury and fatalities for 2062 riders not wearing a helmet. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. E Click the icon to view the tables.

### Analysis of Motorcycle Fatalities and Helmet Use 

A traffic safety company publishes reports about motorcycle fatalities and helmet use. The study analyzes the distribution of fatalities by the location of injury for motorcyclists who do not wear helmets. The data comprises 2062 riders and is summarized in the tables and graphs below. 

#### Part (a): Hypothesis Testing

The report examines whether the distribution of fatal injuries for riders not wearing a helmet follows the distribution for all riders. The level of significance used for the test is α = 0.01. The null (H₀) and alternative (H₁) hypotheses are as follows:

- **Null Hypothesis (H₀)**: The distribution of fatal injuries for riders not wearing a helmet follows the same distribution for all other riders.
- **Alternative Hypothesis (H₁)**: The distribution of fatal injuries for riders not wearing a helmet does not follow the same distribution for all other riders.

#### Expected Counts Calculation

The observed and expected counts for each fatal injury location are calculated based on the distribution proportions provided in the dataset.

1. Multiple Locations:
   - Observed Count: 1026
   - Expected Count: Calculated based on the overall proportions.

2. Head:
   - Observed Count: 872
   - Expected Count: Calculated based on the overall proportions.

3. Neck:
   - Observed Count: 32
   - Expected Count: Calculated based on the overall proportions.

4. Thorax:
   - Observed Count: 85
   - Expected Count: Calculated based on the overall proportions.

5. Abdomen/Lumbar/Spine:
   - Observed Count: 47
   - Expected Count: Calculated based on the overall proportions.

_Round the expected counts to two decimal places as needed._

#### P-Value Calculation

Determine the P-value for the Chi-Square test using the expected and observed counts.

- **P-value =** [To be calculated] _(Round to three decimal places as needed)_

#### Test Conclusion

Based on the results, determine whether to reject the null hypothesis at a significance level of α = 0.01.

- **A.** Do not reject H₀. There is sufficient evidence that the distribution of fatal injuries for riders not wearing a helmet follows the distribution for all riders.
  
- **B.** Reject H₀. There is not sufficient evidence that the distribution of fatal
