20. Married People In a specific year 53.7% of men in the United States were married and 50.3% of women were married. Two independent random samples of 300 men and 300 women found that 178 men and 139 women were married (not to each other). At the 0.05 level of significance, can it be concluded that the proportion of men who were married is greater than the proportion of women who were married?

A random drawing will determine which number is the winner of a dinner for two at a local Chinese restaurant. The dinner is valued at $32. Since fortune cookies are donated to the club, we can ignore the cost of the cookies. The club sold 718 cookies before the drawing. Lisa bought 13 cookies. Lisa's expected earnings can be found by multiplying the value of the dinner by the probability that she will win. What are Lisa's expected earnings?
