Question 1207529
The correct answer is **B. Yes, because all of the expected counts equal or greater.**

**Explanation:**

The chi-square test for independence requires the following condition:

* **All expected counts must be greater than or equal to 5.**

In this case, all the expected counts in the table are greater than or equal to 5. Therefore, it is safe to use the chi-square test with critical values from the chi-square distribution.

**Note:**

* The observed counts can be any non-negative number, including decimals.
* The sum of the observed counts must equal the sum of the expected counts, but this is not a condition for using the chi-square test.
