The computed chi-square value of 1.273 is smaller than the critical value of 13.388. Since we reject the null hypothesis only when the computed chi-square value is greater than the critical value, we do not reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, the best choice is A, which indicates that we should not reject the null hypothesis.
