Question

Decide whether the normal sampling distribution can be used. If it can be​ used, test the claim about the difference between two population proportions

p 1
 

and

p 2
 

at the given level of significance

alpha
 
using the given sample statistics. Assume the sample statistics are from independent random samples.
 
​Claim:
p 1

equalsp 2

​,
alpha

equals0.10

Sample​ statistics:
x 1

equals148

​,
n 1

equals168

 

and

x 2

equals91

​,
n 2

equals214

Can a normal sampling distribution be​ used?
 
 
 
Yes
 
 
No
Identify the null and alternative hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below.
 
 
A.
Upper H 0
​:
p 1

equalsp 2

Upper H Subscript a
​:
p 1

greater thanp 2

 
 
B.
Upper H 0
​:
p 1

not equalsp 2

Upper H Subscript a
​:
p 1

equalsp 2

 
 
C.
Upper H 0
​:
p 1

equalsp 2

Upper H Subscript a
​:
p 1

not equalsp 2

 
 
D.
Upper H 0
​:
p 1

less thanp 2

Upper H Subscript a
​:
p 1

equalsp 2

 
 
E.
A normal sampling distribution cannot be​ used, so the claim cannot be tested.
