Blood Types. Human blood is grouped into four

types: A, B, AB, and O. The percentages of
Americans with each type are as follows: O, 43%; A,
40%; B, 12%; and AB, 5%. At a recent blood drive at
a large university, the donors were classified as
shown below. At the 0.05 level of significance, is
there sufficient evidence to conclude that the
proportions differ from those stated above?

Endangered or Threatened Species. Can you
conclude a relationship between the class of
vertebrate and whether it is endangered or
threatened? Use the 0.05 level of significance. Is
there a different result for the 0.01 level of
significance?
Women in the Military This table lists the numbers of
officers and enlisted personnel for women in the
military. At  = 0.05, is there sufficient evidence to
conclude that a relationship exists between rank and
branch of the Armed Forces?

Movie Rental and Age A study is being conducted to

determine whether the age of the customer is related
to the type of movie he or she rents. A sample of
renters gives the data shown here. At  = 0.10, is the
type of movie selected related to the customer’s age?
