8. A state highway commission is considering removing the lane that allows people to pay cash for a toll on a toll road and requiring all people who use the toll road to pay with an electronic transponder that is connected to their car. The commission wants to know whether the proportion of people who live in the northern part of the state and are in favor of removing the cash lane is different from the proportion of people who live in the southern part of the state and are in favor of removing the cash lane. Independent random samples are selected from the northern and southern parts of the state. The table summarizes the responses of those surveyed. Northern Southern Total Remove Cash Lanes 112 98 210 Кеер Сash Lanes 89 105 194 Total 201 203 404 Which of the following is closest to the P-value of the appropriate test to investigate whether the proportion of people living in the northern part of the state who are in favor of removing the cash lane is different from the proportion of people living in the southern part of the state who are in favor of removing the cash lane?

The traffic pattern is being analyzed for traffic going into Myrtle Beach on 501. The intersection of US-501 and US-17 Bypass was designed such that 50% of the traffic would continue straight on 501, 30% would go north on 17 Bypass, and 20% would go south on 17 Bypass. Since then, there has been a significant amount of commercial growth around the intersection that may have impacted the traffic flow.
