A simple random sample of front-seat occupants involved incar crashes is obtained. Among
2944
occupants not wearing seat belts,
37
were killed. Among
7774
occupants wearing seat belts,
17
were killed. Use a
0.05
significance level to test the claim that seat belts areeffective in reducing fatalities. Complete parts (a)through (c) below.
Question content area bottom
Part 1
a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test.
Consider the first sample to be the sample of occupants notwearing seat belts and the second sample to be the sample ofoccupants wearing seat belts. What are the null and alternativehypotheses for the hypothesis test?

c. What do the results suggest about the effectiveness ofseat belts?
A.
The results suggest that the use of seat belts is associatedwith higher fatality rates than not using seat belts.
B.
The results suggest that the use of seat belts is associatedwith the same fatality rates as not using seat belts.
C.
The results suggest that the use of seat belts is associatedwith lower fatality rates than not using seat belts.
D.
The results are inconclusive.
