Problem 2. A poll was taken this year asking college students if they considered themselves overweight (let us refer to the population this year as population 1). A similar poll was taken five years ago (let us refer to the population 5 years ago as population 2). Results are summarized below. Has the proportion of self-identified overweight increased significantly over the 5 year? Let = .05. Answer question 2.1 to question 2.9 regarding problem 2.
