Question:

Researchers have studied possible abuse by security officers in treating owner-drivers of small cars at crossroads.

An NGO studied whether owner-drivers of small cars were more likely than others in the population to be targeted by officers for traffic stops. They considered 360 car stops due to security reasons in a chosen city during one week. Of those, 234 of the drivers were owners of small cars. At that time, 45% of the city’s population was owner of small cars. Does the number of owner-drivers of small cars stopped give strong evidence of possible bias, being higher than you’d expect if we take into account ordinary random variation? Explain your reasoning in a report of at most 250 words.
