For several decades, it was a common practice in Southern California for houses to be built with pools in the backyard (as any airplane flight which ends at a Southern California airport will reveal). Now, however, that practice may be changing, possibly because of the recent demand for landscaped homes, which experts believe help reduce pollution. A recent study examined a random sample of 126
For several decades, it was a common practice in Southern California for houses to be built with pools in the backyard (as any airplane flight which ends at a Southern California airport will reveal). Now, however, that practice may be changing, possibly because of the recent demand for landscaped homes, which experts believe help reduce pollution. A recent study examined a random sample of
houses built in Southern California between 1950 and 1985 and an independent, random sample of
houses built in Southern California from 1992 to the present. The sample of houses built in 1950-1985 contained
houses with pools, and the sample of houses built from 1992-present contained
houses with pools. Based on this survey, can we conclude, at the
level of significance, that the proportion
of all Southern California houses built in 1950-1985 that were built with pools is greater than the proportion
of all Southern California houses built from 1992-present that were built with pools?
Perform a one-tailed test. Then fill in the table below.
Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)
