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 0.025 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?

Cents portion of check        Number
0-24                                      60
25-49                                    13
50-74                                    15

75-99                                    12
