A researcher claims that the number of homicide crimes in California by month is uniformly distributed. To test this claim, you randomly select 1200 homicides from a recent year and record the month when each happened. The table shows the results. At α = 0.10, test the researcher’s claim.

(a) Identify the expected distribution and state H₀ and H_a,

(b) Find the critical value and identify the rejection region,

(c) Find the chi-square test statistic,

(d) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis,

(e) Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.
