In a study conducted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, a sample of 546 boys aged 6-11 was weighed, and it was determined that 87 of them were overweight. A sample of 508 girls aged 6-11 was also weighed, and 74 of them were overweight. Can you conclude that the proportion of boys who are overweight differs from the proportion of girls who are overweight?

In an article in the journal Health and Place, Hui and Bell found that among 2428 boys ages 7 to 12 years, 461 were overweight or obese. On the basis of this study, can we conclude that more than 15 percent of the boys ages 7 to 12 in the sampled population are obese or overweight? Let alpha=0.05. Conduct a hypothesis test by hand.
