A national non-profit organization is trying to recruit women to serve in local and state governments. Based on available data,31% of seats in all state legislative bodies are currently filled by women. After a recent election in a state that this organizationheavily advertised, they find that a random sample has 41% of state legislative seats that were won by women.(a) A statistician runs a simulation of an election, with the assumption that 31% of the seats will be won by women. She repeatsthis simulation 100 times. The results of the simulation are shown below. Based on the simulation and the sample proportionfound above, what conclusion should the non-profit make about the percentage of legislative seats that were won by women.
(b) Based on your conclusion in part (a), what error, Type I or Type II, might have been made. Give a consequence of makingthis error in the context of this question. State the appropriate hypotheses used.
