The American Automobile Association (AAA) claims that the proportion of dog owners who have allowed their dog to sit on their lap while they are driving is 0.17.   You believe a different proportion of dog owners have driven while their dog is sitting on their lap.  In a survey of a random sample of 318 dog owners, you find that the proportion in the sample who admit to having driven with a dog on their lap is 0.19.  Use this information to conduct a hypothesis test at a significance (or alpha) level of 0.05.    Given the P-value you determined to answer Question 9, should you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Please explain.   2. Are the results of this hypothesis test statistically significant? Please explain why or why not.
