According to the US Census Bureau, 9.3% of people in the US do not have health insurance as of July 2023. The US Department of Human Services is proposing to help states with higher rates of uninsured people by providing them with extra funding for health services. States who have uninsured rates above the national average will receive the funding. In a sample of 1000 randomly selected people in Oregon, 73 did not have health insurance. Does this sample provide convincing evidence that the rate of people without health insurance is lower in Oregon than in the US overall?
