-----------------------------------
I ran a Chi-Sq Test on the data to examine
Ho: vehicle type does not vary by mall location
Ha: vehicle type varies by mall location
-------------------
Test statistic: Chi-Sq = 24.53
p-value = 0.017...
-------------
Conclusion:
Since p-value is less than alpha =is 5%, Reject Ho.
