Problem 3

A study investigates the effectiveness of a new safety helmet for cyclists. Out of 18001800 cyclists not wearing the new helmet, 2727 suffered serious head injuries. Out of 54005400 cyclists wearing the new helmet, 99 suffered serious head injuries. At the 0.050.05 significance level, test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence interval that the new helmet reduces the risk of serious head injury.
