n a study of red/green color blindness, 700 men and 2100 women are randomly selected and tested. Among the men, 61 have red/green color blindness. Among the women, 4 have red/green color blindness. Test the claim that men have a higher rate of red/green color blindness. (Note: Type ‘‘p_m″ for the symbol pmpm , for example p_m not=p_w for the proportions are not equal, p_m>p_w for the proportion of men with color blindness is larger, p_m

(a) State the null hypothesis:
(b) State the alternative hypothesis:
(c) The test statistic is
(d) Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that men have a higher rate of red/green color blindness than women? Use a 10 % significance level.
A. Yes
B. No
(e) Construct the 90% confidence interval for the difference between the color blindness rates of men and women.
