Expert Solution
Step 1

Note:

Since you have asked solution for question 4 specifically we will answer the same.

In EXCEL, there is no function or code to test the significance proportions for the summarized data. This can be done by using additional EXCEL Add-In Megastat.

The null and alternative hypotheses are given below.

H0:P1-P2=0H1:P1-P2not equal to 0

 

Step 2

Step-by-step procedure to obtain the test for difference in 2 proportions using MegaStat:

  • Go to MegaStat > Hypothesis tests > compare two independent proportions.
  • Enter x as 44 and n as 76 for group 1, x as 21 and n as 99 for group 2.
  • Enter 0 in Hypothesized difference and Select not equal in Alternative hypothesis.
  • Display confidence interval and select the value as 95%.
  • Click OK.

From the MegaStat output, the results of the test are given below:
