2. Based on a poll of registered voters in a large city, 120 out of a random sample of 250 women intended to vote for Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election and 132 out of a random sample of 240 men intended to vote for Donald Trump. A Is there convincing evidence that there is a difference in the proportion of all women and the proportion of all men in this city who intended to vote for Trump in the 2020 presidential election at the a = 0.05 level? B. Based on your conclusion, what type of error could you have just made? Describe a consequence of making this type of error.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The total number of women n1=250
The number of women intend to vote Trump =120
The proportion of women vote for Trump p1=120250=0.48

The total number of men n2=240
The number of women intend to vote Trump =132
The proportion of women vote for Trump p2=132240=0.55

Level of significance =0.05

The null and alternate hypothesis are
Ho: p1-p2=0Ha:  p1-p20

The pooled sample proportion are calculated as shown below
p=n1p1+n2p2n1+n2=120+132250+240=0.5143
