A survey was conducted to research the public's views on potholes. When the results were analyzed, researchers found that 65% of adults age 20 to 40 view potholes as a serious problem, but only 47% of adults age 60 and older view potholes as a serious problem. Researchers are interested in the difference in proportions of adults age 60 and over and adults age 20 to 30. The standard error for the difference in proportions is 0.011.

Naini, Cobourne, McDonald and Donaldson (2008) reported that a specific ratio of height to face length of 1 to 8.5 tended to be rated as most attractive—almost exactly what Da Vinci’s idealized Vitruvian Man, predicts as “perfection” in the human form. For this study, we want to see if there is a relationship between a person’s height and head circumference. We get a random sample of 40 people and measure both their height and their head size to the nearest centimeter. What test should you use and why?
