Question:

People Helping People In a study of people who stop to help drivers with disabled cars, researchers hypothesized that more people would stop to help someone if they first saw another driver with a disabled car getting help. In one experiment, 2000 drivers first saw a woman being helped with a flat tire and then saw a second woman who was alone, farther down the road, with a flat tire; 2.90% of those 2000 drivers stopped to help the second woman. Among 2000 other drivers who did not see the first woman being helped, only 1.75% stopped to help (based on data from “Help on the Highway,” by McCarthy, Psychology Today). At the 0.05 significance level, test the claim that the percentage of people who stop after first seeing a driver with a disabled car being helped is greater than the percentage of people who stop without first seeing someone else being helped.
