In city 2, a poll of 1000 randomly selected voters found that 341 supported raising the minimum wage. What type of hypothesis test should be performed? Select: Two-tailed z-test  Left-tailed t-test   Two-tailed t-test              Left-tailed z-test      p^1= p^2= p^= Test statistic = p-value =   Does sufficient evidence exist to support the claim that the level of support differs between the two cities at the α=0.1 significance level?
