Question

The National Sleep Foundation conducted a survey on the sleep habits of randomly sampled transportation workers and a control sample of non-transportation workers. The results of the survey are shown below.

	Control	Pilots	Truck Drivers	Train Operators	Bus/Taxi/Limo Drivers
Less than 6 hours of sleep	35	19	35	29	21
6 to 8 hours of sleep	193	132	117	119	131
More than 8 hours	64	51	51	32	58
Total	292	202	203	180	210

Conduct a hypothesis test to evaluate if these data provide evidence of a difference between the proportions of truck drivers and non-transportation workers (the control group) who get less than 6 hours of sleep per day, i.e. are considered sleep deprived.
