Question #3

A newspaper published an article about a study in which researchers subjected laboratory gloves to stress. Among 298 vinyl​ gloves, 60​% leaked viruses. Among 298 latex​ gloves,

13​% leaked viruses. Using the accompanying display of the technology​ results, and using a

0.01 significance​ level, test the claim that vinyl gloves have a greater virus leak rate than latex gloves. Let vinyl gloves be population 1.

Technology results

Pooled​ proportion: 0.37

 

Test​ statistic, z: 11.9063

 

Critical​ z: 2.3264

 

​ P-value: 0.0000

 

 

98​% Confidence​ interval:

0.3896624 < p1 − p2 < 0.5499349

 

 

What are the null and alternative​ hypotheses?

 

A. H0​: p1 = p2

    H1​: p1 < p2

B. H0​: p1 = p2

    H1​: p1 ≠ p2

C. H0​: p1 > p2

    H1​: p = p2

D. H0​: p1 < p2

    H1​: p1 = p2

E. H0​: p1 = p2

    H1​: p1 > p2

F. H0​: p1 ≠ p2

   H1​: p1 = p2

 

Identify the test statistic.

 

___________

(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)

 

Identify the​ P-value.

 

__________

​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)

 

What is the conclusion for this​ test?

 

The​ P-value is ___________ ( A. less than, B. greater than ) the significance level of α​,

so ____________ ( A. fail to reject, B. reject ) the null hypothesis. There is ___________ ( A. insufficient, B. sufficient ) evidence to support the claim that vinyl gloves have a greater virus leak rate than latex gloves.
