According to a certain government agency for a large country, the proportion of fatal traffic accidents in the country in which the driver had a positive blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.34. Suppose a random sample of 109 traffic fatalities in a certain region results in 50 that involved a positive BAC. Does the sample evidence suggest that the region has a higher proportion of traffic fatalities involving a positive BAC than the country at the α = 0.01 level of significance? Because npo (1-Po) =10, the sample size is (Round to one decimal place as needed.) 5% of the population size, and the sample the requirements for testing the hypothesis ▼satisfied.
