An interesting and popular hypothesis is that individuals can temporarily postpone their death to survive an important event such as the world cup final. In a study of this phenomenon, it was found that in the week before and the week after the last world cup finals, there were 12,000 total deaths in a certain country and 6062 of them occurred in the week before.

Determine whether the given data validates the above claim: does it appear to be an indication that people can temporarily postpone their death to survive the world cup final? Justify your answer.

You may use the proportion of deaths in the week before the world cup final with respect to the total deaths in the two weeks period mentioned above.
