Question: A social psychologist suspects that people who serve on juries tend to be much older than citizens in the general population. Jurors are selected from the list of registered voters, so the ages for jurors should have the same distribution as the ages for voters. The psychologist obtains voter registration records and finds that 20% of registered voters are between 18 and 29 years old, 45% are between 30 and 49 years old, and 35% are age 50 or older. The psychologist also monitors jury composition over several weeks and observes the following distribution of ages for actual juries:

Age Categories for Jurors
18-29 30-49 50 and Over
12 36 32

Are the data sufficient to conclude that the age distribution for jurors is significantly different from the distribution for the population of registered voters? Test with α = .05.
