In a previous year, 54% of females aged 15 and older lived alone. A sociologist tests whether this percentage is different today by conducting a random sample of 500 females aged 15 and older and finds that 264 are living alone. Is there sufficient evidence at the α=0.05 level of significance to conclude the proportion haschanged?
