A book claims that more hockey players are born in January through March than in October through December. The following data show the number of players selected in a draft of new players for a hockey league according to their birth month. Is there evidence to suggest that hockey players' birthdates are not uniformly distributed throughout the year? Use the level of significance a = 0.05. Eff Click the icon to view the table. What are the null hypothesis and alternative hypotheses? O A. Ho: The distribution of hockey players' birth months is uniformly distributed. Hy: More hockey players are born in the first half of the year than the second half. O B. Ho: The distribution of hockey players' birth months is uniformly distributed. Hy: More hockey players are born in January-March than October-December. C. Ho: The distribution of hockey players' birth months is uniformly distributed. He: The distribution of hockey players' birth months is not uniformly distributed. O D. Ho: The distribution of hockey players' birth months is not uniformly distributed. H,: The distribution of hockey players' birth months is uniformly distributed. Compute the expected counts for each birth month. The total number of hockey players is 172.

X = (Round to three decimal places as needed.) What is the P-value of the test? P-value = 0.000 (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Based on the results, do the hockey league's players' birth months follow a uniform distribution? Use the level of significance a = 0.01. A. No, because the calculated P-value is greater than the given a level of significance. B. Yes, because the calculated P-value is greater than the given a level of significance. Yes, because the calculated P-value is less than the given a level of significance. D. No, because the calculated P-value is less than the given a level of significance
