Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that being stopped is independent of race. Based on available evidence, can we conclude that racial profiling is being used?

Can we conclude that racial profiling is being used?

A. No, because the P-value is greater than the significance level.

B. No, because the P-value is less than the significance level.

C. Yes, because the P-value is greater than the significance level.

D. Yes, because the P-value is less than the significance level.

Solution

degree of freedom = 1

p value = 0.015

As p value < 0.05, reject null hypothesis.

D. Yes, because the P-value is less than the significance level.
