Before the elections of a city mayor, a journalist has asked several people in 2 two districts about their about their preferences. 80% of 150 respondents in district 1 and 75% of 180 respondents in district 2 told that they prefer candidate A. Can the journalist conclude at alpha=0.05 that there is significant difference in the preferences of district 1 and 2 citizens? Select one: a. Z(stat)=2.51, which is less than Z(cr)=1.64, therefore, we cannot conclude that there is no significant difference b. Z(stat)=1.079, which is less than Z(cr)=1.64, therefore, we can conclude that there is significant difference c. Z(stat)=1.079, which is less than Z(cr)=1.96, therefore, we can conclude that there is no significant difference d. Z(stat)=2.51, which is less than Z(cr)=1.96, therefore, we can conclude that there is significant difference

Question
Before the elections of a city mayor, a journalist has asked several people in 2 two districts about their about their preferences. 80% of 150 respondents in district 1 and 75% of 180 respondents in district 2 told that they prefer candidate A. Can the journalist conclude at alpha=0.05 that there is significant difference in the preferences of district 1 and 2 citizens?
Select one:
a.
Z(stat)=2.51, which is less than Z(cr)=1.64, therefore, we cannot conclude that there is no significant difference
b.
Z(stat)=1.079, which is less than Z(cr)=1.64, therefore, we can conclude that there is significant difference
c.
Z(stat)=1.079, which is less than Z(cr)=1.96, therefore, we can conclude that there is no significant difference
d.
Z(stat)=2.51, which is less than Z(cr)=1.96, therefore, we can conclude that there is significant difference
