The director of transportation is specifically interested in the difference in proportion of males and females who use local routes. To test this, she will perform a chi-square hypothesis test with a significance level of 0.05. The decision made, which is not specified in the scenario, will indicate whether or not there is a significant difference in the proportion of males and females who use local versus non-local routes. Therefore, the answer cannot be determined solely from the information given in the scenario.
