On April 15th, 1912, the R.M.S. Titanic sank into the North Atlantic Ocean, resulting in the loss of more than 1,500 passengers and crew. Below is a table which summarizes the total number of passengers and the number of survivors for the crew, first-, second-, and third-class. Find the proportion of survivors by type of service (crew, first, second, third). Test the hypothesis at the 95% confidence level that the proportion of first-class survivors is the same as .50. What do you calculate for the test-statistic? What is the critical statistic? What is the conclusion of your hypothesis test?
