Question:

Suppose the American Cancer Society randomly sampled 1,500 adults in 2000 and then sampled 1,750 adults in 2010 to determine whether there was evidence that the percentage of smokers had decreased. The results of the two sample surveys are shown in Table 9.7, where x1 and x2 represent the numbers of smokers in the 2000 and 2010 samples, respectively. Do these data indicate that the fraction of smokers decreased over this 10-year period? Use a = .05. LO5
