Question
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.
Click the icon to view the tables.
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
What is the P-value of the test?
P-value = (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Based on the results, does the distribution of fatal injuries for riders not wearing a helmet follow the distribution for all other riders at a significance level of a = 0.01?
O A. Do not reject Ho. There is sufficient evidence that the distribution of fatal injuries for riders not wearing a helmet follows the distribution for all riders.
B. Reject Ho. There is not sufficient evidence that the distribution of fatal injuries for riders not wearing a helmet follows the distribution for all riders.
O C. Do not reject Ho. There is not sufficient evidence that the distribution of fatal injuries for riders not wearing a helmet does not follow the distribution for all
riders.
O D. Reject Ho. There is sufficient evidence that the distribution of fatal injuries for riders not wearing a helmet does not follow the distribution for all riders.
(b) Compare the observed and expected counts for each category. What does this information tell you?
A. Motorcycle fatalities from head injuries occur less frequently for riders not wearing a helmet.
B. Motorcycle fatalities from thorax injuries occur more frequently for riders not wearing a helmet.
O C. Motorcycle fatalities from head injuries occur more frequently for riders not wearing a helmet.
