It the 1980s, it was generally believed that congenital abnormalities affected about 77% of a large nation's children. Some people believe that the increase in the number of chemicals in the environment has led to an increase in the incidence of abnormalities. A recent study examined 423 randomly selected children and found that 51 of them showed signs of an abnormality. Is this strong evidence that the risk has increased? (Consider a P-value of around 0.05 to represent reasonable evidence.)...

Is this strong evidence they have failed to attain their fuel economy goal? Complete parts a through...
