helmets, but consumer groups are worried that it may not pass government impact tests and will
not provide adequate protection.
2000 of the new helmets are randomly sampled and tested. Of these sampled helmets, 210 of
them cracked. Test the hypothesis that the new helmets will crack more than 10% time when
enduring the impact tests. Use .05 as the level of significance.
