Question:

Use the randomization procedure for the indicated exercise.


Data in Section 8-2, Exercise 9 

Released in 1956, the movie The Conqueror attracted considerable attention because many members of the cast and crew died from cancer supposedly resulting from exposure to radioactive fallout. The movie was shot a short distance from a site in Nevada where above-ground tests of atomic weapons were conducted. Among the 220 cast and crew members, 91 developed cancer. According to the National Cancer Institute, for that time period and for the age cohort, the incidence of cancer was about 40%. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the sample of cast and crew members is from a population in which the rate of cancer is greater than 40%. What do you conclude about the movie being a curse?
