years ago found that 40% of commuters used trains, 25% used cars, 20% used taxis and 15% used buses. A recent survey of 400 randomly selected commuters
found that 135 commuters used trains, 115 used cars, 96 used taxis and the remainder travelled by bus. Test at a 5% significance level whether the daily
commuting patterns of workers into the CBD have changed from what they were seven years ago.
The breakdown of commuting patterns of workers into the CBS is reflected in the table below:
