Suppose that national data indicate that 55% of Americans drive
to work, 25% take public transportation, 12% bike, and 8% walk. A
random sample from one particular city yielded 36 respondents who
drove to work, 11 who took public transportation, 18 who biked, and
9 who walked. Conduct an appropriate hypothesis test of the claim
that this city’s commuting habits are consistent with the national
distribution. [Be sure to state the hypotheses, find the
test statistic, find the p-value or critical value (either is OK),
and draw the appropriate conclusion about the claim.]
