Conduct the hypothesis test and provide the test statistic,
critical value and P-value, and state the conclusion.

A person randomly selected 100 checks and recorded the cents
portions of those checks. The table below lists those cents
portions categorized according to the indicated values. Use a 0.05
significance level to test the claim that the four categories are
equally likely. The person expected that many checks for whole
dollar amounts would result in a disproportionately high frequency
for the first category, but do the results support that
expectation?
