(b)Use the multiple comparison procedure to determine which population proportions differ significantly. Use a 0.05 level of significance.

A multiple comparison procedure is done to determine if any two populations are significantly different from one another. This procedure can be done when there are at least 3 populations being compared. The first step is to compute the absolute value of each of the differences,
|pi − pj|,
for populations i and j. We previously found the following sample proportions.
p1 = 0.528
p2 = 0.44
p3 = 0.39
Find the absolute value of the difference in population proportions for populations
i = 1
and
j = 2.
|p1 − p2|  = 
 
0.528 − .44

   =  .088

Find the absolute value of the difference in population proportions for populations
i = 1
and

|p1 − p3|  =

   =  .138

Find the absolute value of the difference in population proportions for populations
i = 2
and
j = 3.
|p2 − p3|  = 
 
0.44 − .39

   =  .05

Step 3
The next step in the multiple comparison procedure is to compute a critical value for each pairwise comparison. The critical value for the ij pairwise difference for k populations follows where
??2
is the chi-square value with level of significance ? and
k − 1
degrees of freedom for k populations,
pi
and
pj
are the sample proportions for populations i and j, and
ni
and
nj
are the sample sizes from populations i and j.

pi(1 − pi)

pj(1 − pj)
nj
The value for
??2
will be used for all comparisons. Note that ? will represent the upper tail area of the chi-square distribution. The desired level of significance was given to be 0.05, so ? = . There are three populations being compared, giving k = .
Population 1 had 132 Yes responses and 118 No responses. Therefore,
n1 = 132 + 118 = .
Population 2 had 132 Yes responses and 168 No responses. Therefore,
n2 = 132 + 168 = .
Population 3 had 78 Yes responses and 122 No responses. Therefore,
n3 = 78 + 122 = .
