A Driver's Ed program is curious if the time of year has an impact on number of car accidents in the U.S. They assume that weather may have a significant impact on the ability of drivers to control their vehicles. They take a random sample of 150 car accidents and record the season each occurred in. They found that 27 occurred in the Spring, 39 in the Summer, 31 in the Fall, and 53 in the Winter.

Can it be concluded at the 0.05 level of significance that car accidents are not equally distributed throughout the year?

Question options:

yes because the p-value = 0.0145

no, because the p-value = 0.0145

yes, because the p-value = 0.0291

no, because the p-value = 0.0291
