A newspaper story claims that more houses are purchased by singles now than singles 55 years ago. To test this claim, two studies were conducted on the buying habits of singles over the past 55 years. In the first study, 500500 house purchases in the current year were randomly selected and 150150 of those were made by singles. In the second study, again 500500 house purchases were randomly selected from 55 years ago and 124124 of those were made by single people. Test the newspaper's claim using a 0.050.05 level of significance. Is there sufficient evidence to support the newspaper's claim? Let singles now be Population 1 and let singles 55 years ago be Population 2.
