Significance Test:

We used the chi-squared test for association for our data.  We used a two way table to get our results.

Hypothesis:

u1= The true number of automobile violations for teenage males

u2 = The true number of automobile violations for teenage females

Ho: u1=u2

Ha: u1>u2

Significance level:    α= 0.05

note: one of the expected cell counts does not have a p-value of less than 5.0.

Chi-squared: 0.497 + 0.007 + 1.376 + 0.596 + 0.010 + 1.927 =  4.514

p-value = 0.105
