Solve the following problem:
Q: In Dallas, some fire trucks were painted yellow (instead of red) to heighten their visibility. During a test period, the fleet of red fire trucks made 153,348 runs and had 25 accidents, while the fleet of yellow fire trucks made 135,035 runs and had 5 accidents. At α= .01, did the yellow fire trucks have a significantly lower accident rate?
Accident Rate for Dallas Fire Trucks:
Statistic Red Fire Trucks Yellow Fire Trucks
Number of accidents x1 = 25 accidents x2 = 5 accidents
Number of fire runs n1 = 153,348 runs n2 = 135,035 runs
RQ: Do the yellow fire trucks have significantly lower accident rates than red fire trucks?
