Compute the expected counts for each day of the week. 

A researcher wanted to determine whether certain accidents were uniformly distributed over the days of the week. The data show the day of the week for n = 304 randomly selected
accidents. Is there reason to believe that the accidents occur with equal frequency with respect to the day of the week at the a= 0.05 level of significance?
