In 2000, 58% of females aged 15 and older lived alone, according to the U.S. Census      Bureau. A sociologist tests whether this percentage is different today by conducting a random sample      of 500 females aged 15 and older and finds that 285 are living alone. Is there sufficient      evidence at the α = 0.1 level of significance to conclude the proportion has changed since 2000?
