Because CSMA/CA has all stations wait a random amount of time after the medium is clear, the number of collisions is significantly reduced.

This statement is true. CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance) is a protocol designed to minimize collisions in wireless networks. With CSMA/CA, each station listens to the wireless medium before transmitting to check if it is idle. If the medium is busy, the station waits for a random amount of time before attempting to transmit again. This reduces the likelihood of multiple stations transmitting at the same time and causing collisions.
