The data shown below are simulated but are designed to reflect actual surveys conducted in the United States in March of 2020. Participants were asked whether they perceive that they have a substantial risk of
dying if they are infected with the novel coronavirus. The number of people stating each response, stratified
on age, are shown below (only two age groups are shown):
High Risk Not High Risk
Age < 30 24 203
Age > 60 32 126
The trend in the data is that younger people perceive themselves to be at lower risk of dying than older people. But is this trend only present in this sample, or is it generalizable to a broader population (say the entire US population)? That is the goal of conducting a statistical hypothesis test in this setting. Conduct the
test using a significance level of 0.1. Also, calculate the p‐value.
