Question

A researcher wanted to determine whether certain accidents were uniformly distributed over the days of the week. The data show the day of the week for n=303 randomly selected accidents. Is there reason to believe that the accidents occur with equal frequency with respect to the day of the week at the α=0.05 level of​ significance?

Compute the expected counts for each day of the week.

​(Round to three decimal places)

2) then calculate P value and the range that the P value corresponds to
 
3) Compare the​ P-value with the given
α=0.05 level of significance. If the​ P-value is less than α​,
reject the null hypothesis.​ Then, draw a conclusion in the context of the problem.
