Annie is concerned over a report that "a woman over age 40 has abetter chance of being killed by a terrorist than of gettingmarried." A study found that the likelihood of marriage for anever-previously-wed, 40-year-old university-educated Americanwoman was 2.8%. To demonstrate that this percentage is too small,Annie uses her resources at the Baltimore Sun to conduct a simplerandom sample of 414 never-previously-wed, university-educated,American women who were single at the beginning of their 40s andwho are now 45. Of these women, 17 report now being married. Doesthis evidence support Annie’s claim, at the 0.01 level ofsignificance, that the chances of getting married for this group isgreater than 2.8%?
