9.42 Aboriginal People in Canada According to the most recent census data, Aboriginal people account for approximately 3.3% of the Canadian population. 14 However, the female-to-male ratio is slightly higher among Aboriginal peoples (51.2% female and 48.8% male) than in the total population (50.9% female and 49.1% male). Most of the Aboriginal people live in the territories. For example, in Nunavut the proportion of Aboriginal people is about 85%. In a random sample of 300 people in Nunavut, 261 people identified them- selves as Aboriginal. Does this data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that the proportion of Aboriginal people in Nunavut is different from that reported than in census data? Test using a = 0.01.
