Instruction 15-3
The director of transportation of a large company is interested in the usage of her van pool. She considers her routes to be divided into local and non-local. She is particularly interested in learning if there is a difference in the proportion of males and females who use the local routes. She takes a sample of a day's riders and finds the following:
$$\begin{array} { | l | c | c | c | } \hline & \text { Male } & \text { Female } & \text { Total } \\\hline \text { Local } & 27 & 44 & 71 \\\hline \text { Non-Local } & 33 & 25 & 58 \\\hline \text { Total } & 60 & 69 & 129 \\\hline\end{array}$$ She will use this information to perform a chi-square hypothesis test using a level of significance of 0.05.
-Referring to Instruction 15-3,the decision made suggests that there is a difference between the proportion of males and females who ride local versus non-local routes.
