Textbook Question
Chapter 10.2, Problem 10.18ACA
Political representation of religious groups. Do those elected to the U.S. House of Representatives really “represent” their constituents demographically? This was a question of interest in Chance (Summer 2002). One of several demographics studied was religious affiliation. The accompanying table gives the proportion of the U.S. population for several religions, as well as the number of the 435 seats in the House of Representatives that are affiliated with that religion. Give your opinion on whether or not the House of Representatives is statistically representative of the religious affiliations of their constituents in the United States.
| Religion | Proportion of U.S. Population | Number of Seats in House |
| Catholic | .28 | 117 |
| Methodist | .04 | 61 |
| Jewish | .02 | 30 |
| Other | .66 | 227 |
| Totals | 1.00 | 435 |

Since no existing treatment exists, they have planned a one-armstudy. They wish to test whether the success rate of the drug is better than 50%, whichthey have defined as the null success rate. Preliminary testing has estimated the successrate of the drug at 55%.
