A consumer advocacy group wants to determine whether there is a
difference between the proportions of the two-leading automobile
models that need major repairs within two years of their purchase. A
sample of 400 two-year owners of the model I is contacted, and a

of owners who report that their cars needed major repairs within first
two years are 53 and 78, respectively.
Test whether any difference exists between the two cars major repair
at .10 level of significance.

the methods. Using a .05 level significance, is there
evidence of a significant difference between the two
methods in the proportion of fair ratings?
