For questions 34-35, refer to the following:The Chronic Related Score (CReSc) is a new index of a patient's clinical profile that is derived from inpatient and outpatient services provided by the Regional Health Service and is validated for outcome prediction. CReSc values range from 0 to 4, with higher values indicating a worse clinical status. Mancia et al. (2020) observed the following frequencies among a sample of 6,272 COVID-19 patients:

CHRONIC RELATED SCORE: 0 1 2 3 4

COUNT 2116 1450 1117 676 913

34.What is the expected frequency of patients with the worst clinical status, i.e., category 4?

a.92.92

b.125.44

c.913.00

d.996.97

e.1254.4

35.Given the test statistic has a value of 996.97, what conclusion should you make?

a.Becausep-value < 0.0001, we fail to reject H₀and conclude thatthere is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that COVID-19 patients are distributed evenly in these categories.

b.Becausep-value < 0.0001, we reject H₀and conclude thatthere is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that COVID-19 patients are distributed evenly in these categories.

c.Becausep-value < 0.0001, we reject H₀and conclude thatthere is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that COVID-19 patients are distributed evenly in these categories.

d.Becausep-value = 0.999, we fail to reject H₀and conclude thatthere is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that COVID-19 patients are distributed evenly in these categories.

e.Becausep-value = 0.999, we reject H₀and conclude thatthere is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that COVID-19 patients are distributed evenly in these categories.
