In its study when Men murder Women: An Analysis of 2009 Homicide Data, 2011, the Violence Policy center (www.vpc.org) reported that 1818 women were murdered by men in 2009. Of these victims, a weapon could be identified for 1654 of them: 861 were killed by gun, 364 by knives or other cutting instruments, 214 by other weapons ad 215 by personal attacks. The FBI's Uniform Crime report says that, among all murders nationwide, the weapon use rate were as follows: gun 63.4%, knives 13.1%, other weapons 16.8% and personal attacks 6.7%. Is there evidence that violence against women involves different weapons than other violent attacks in the United States? Use a 0.05 significance level to conduct an appropriate hypothesis test.
