In a survey of a sample of 200 guests (100 male and 100 female) on a major cruise line A, it
was found that 45 male guests and 55 female quests were satisfied. However, the cruise line advertised that 65% of its guests (overall) were satisfied. Undertake a hypothesis test at a 5% significance level to examine if the claim made by the cruise line can be supported with the data.
From the results of the survey in part b, do you think female guests are more satisfied than
male guests on the cruise line? (Note: Undertake the test at a 5% significance level.)
