2 An investigation in 2007 into the incidence of tuberculosis (TB) in badgers in a certain area found that 42 out of a random sample of 190 badgers tested positive for TB.
In 2010, 48 out of a random sample of 150 badgers tested positive for TB.
- Assuming that the population proportions of badgers with TB are the same in 2007 and 2010, obtain the best estimate of this proportion.
- Carry out a test at the \(2 \frac { 1 } { 2 } \%\) significance level of whether the population proportion of badgers with TB increased from 2007 to 2010.
