3) John Wayne died of cancer. In 1955, he was in Utah shooting the film The Conqueror. Across the state line, in Nevada, the U.S. military was testing the atomic bomb. Radioactive fallout drifted across the film location. A total of 46 of the 220 people working on the film eventually died of cancer. Is there sufficient evidence that the death rate observed in this movie crew is higher than the national proportion of 13.6%

Answer:

20.9 %, it is more than the national population 13.6%.

Explanation:

Total number of persons = 220

died number of persons = 46

The percentage of died persons


(46)/(220)* 100 \\\\= 20.9 %

So, it is more than the national population of 13.6 %.
