2-Proportion Test

In a 2-proportion test, two separate proportions are measured at the same time, and their similarity is evaluated. It is also known as a 2-proportion z-test, and a comparison of two different proportions is done in this method.

The National Hurricane Center provides data that list the number of large (category 3, 4, or 5) hurricanes that have struck the United States, by decade, from 1851-2020.

Color blindness, or dyschromatopsia, is a form of genetic deficiency in color perception. The condition is much more prevalent among males than females, pointing to a genetic connection with the X chromosome. The frequency of dyschromatopsia in the Caucasian American male population is about 7%. However, it is thought that this proportion might be smaller among males of other ethnicities. We want to estimate the proportion of Asian American males who are color-blind. How large a sample size do we need in order to obtain a 95% confidence interval with a margin of error no greater than 5%, or 0.05? Use 0.5 for p̂.
A psychologist believes that the age of an adolescent will have an impact on the number of phone calls made to the opposite sex (in heterosexual people) over the course of one month. They also suspect that gender of the adolescent will have an impact on the number of phone calls made to the opposite sex. Using the hypothetical data provided below, run your analyses in R to test whether age and gender impacts the number of phone calls an adolescent makes. Gender (Binary) Girl Boy Age Young Adolescents (11-14) 7, 2, 3, 5, 3 1, 2, 3, 2, 1 Older Adolescents (15-18) 15, 26, 19, 21, 18 10, 8, 5, 16, 9 ( What kind of statistical analysis do you need to use and why?

Check My Work (5 remaining) Each year, over 2 million people in the United States become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. In particular, the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention has launched studies of drug-resistant gonorrhea (CDC.gov website). Of 142 cases tested in Alabama, 9 were found to be drug-resistant. Of 268 cases tested in Texas, 5 were found to be drug-resistant. Do these data suggest a statistically significant difference between the proportions of drug- resistant cases in the two states? Use a 0.02 level of significance. What is the p-value, and what is your conclusion? Test statistic = (to 2 decimals) p-value = (to 4 decimals) Conclusion: Reject the null hypothesis Choose the correct option. There is a significant difference in drug resistance between the two states. Alabama has the higher drug resistance rate. True
A child psychologist believe that controlled physical outbursts of anger (like punching a pillow) may improve the mood of young boys with emotional impairment. He believes that the proportion of boys who benefit from the treatment is greater than the proportion of girls. A random sample from each population receives counseling in the treatment and is asked about their mood after an episode (x is the number of test subjects that reported an improvement in mood). The results of the study are summarized in the table below. Boys n1 = 200 Girls n2 = 210 %3D %3D X1 = 35 X2 = 28 Blank #1: Find the two sample proportions, reporting each as a decimal, rounded to two decimal places.
