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
0.330.33.
Suppose a random sample of
106106
traffic fatalities in a certain region results in
4646
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
alpha equals 0.1α=0.1
level of significance?
