the Director of Transportation of a Large Company

question 42

Short Answer

Instruction 19-1
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:
$$\begin{array} { | l | c | c | l | } \hline & \text { Male } & \text { Female } & \text { Total } \\\hline \text { Local } & 27 & 44 & 71 \\\hline \text { Non-Local } & 33 & 25 & 5 \\\hline \text { Total } & 60 & 69 & 129 \\\hline\end{array}$$ She will use this information to perform a chi-square hypothesis test using a level of significance of 0.05.
-Referring to Instruction 19-1,the director now wants to know if the proportion of users who are male and the proportion of users who use the local routes are the same.What is the p-value of the test statistic using a 5% level of significance?
