![In a survey of 1000 drivers from Region A, 854 wear a seat belt. In a survey of 1000 drivers from Region B, 903 wear a seat belt. At a = 0.10, is there evidence to support the claim that the proportion of drivers who wear seat belts in Region A is less than the proportion of drivers who wear
seat belts in Region B? Assume that the samples are random and independent. Complete parts (a) through (e) below.

- The U.S. Energy Information Administration claimed that U.S. residential customers used an average of 10,941 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity this year. A local power company believes that residents in their area use more electricity on average than EIA's reported average. To test their claim, the company chooses a random sample of 115 of their customers and calculates that these customers used an average of 11,425 kWh of electricity last year. Assuming that the population standard deviation is 3217 kWh, is there sufficient evidence to support the power company's claim at the 0.02 level of significance?
