formula and a similar problem.
During the 2017-2018 flu season, a random sample of 100 hospitalizations related to flu was studied. It was
later determined that 10 patients have died.
A similar study during the 2018-2019 flu season revealed that in a random sample of 80 hospitalized cases
related to flu, there were 9 deaths observed.
At 10% significance level, test the claim that the percentage of deaths in 2017-2018 is different from the
percentage of deaths in the 2018-2019 season.
