The age distribution of the Canadian population and the age distribution of a random sample of 455 residents in the Indian community of a village are shown below.
Age (years) | Percent of Canadian Population | Observed
Number in the Village |
Under 5 | 7.2% | 52 |
5 to 14 | 13.6% | 80 |
15 to 64 | 67.1% | 281 |
65 and older | 12.1% | 42 |
Use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that the age distribution of the general Canadian population fits the age distribution of the residents of Red Lake Village.
