Proportion of obese adults


A nutritionist thinks that obesity is more prevalent among American adults than it was in past. He discovers that in study conducted in the year 1994, 380 of the 1630 randomly selected adults were classified as obese. But, in a more recent study, he finds out 726 out of 2350 randomly selected adults were classied as obese. At α=0.05, do these studies provide evidence to support nutritionist's claim that the proportion of obese adults has significantly increased since 1994?
