Question

You wish to test the following claim π1<π2 at a significance level of 0.05.

      Ho:π1=π2
      Ha:π1<π2



You obtain a sample from the first population with 115 successes and 99 failures. You obtain a sample from the second population with 138 successes and 71 failures. Use the Theory-based inference applet to conduct this test of significance.

(a)  What is the z-score for this sample?
      z-score =   (Report answer accurate to two decimal places.

(b)  What is the p-value for this sample?
      p-value =   (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.

(c)  The p-value is...

  • less than (or equal to) α
  •  
  • greater than α
  •  

 

(d)  This p-value leads to the following conclusion:

  • we have statistically significant evidence to support the alternative hypothesis
  • the null hypothesis is true
  • the null hypothesis is plausible
  • the alternative hypothesis is true

 

(e)  As such, the final conclusion is that...

  • We conclude that the first population proportion is equal to the second population proportion.
  • We conclude that the first population proportion is less than the second population proportion.
  • We have statistically significant evidence that the first population proportion is less than the second population proportion.
  • It is plausible that the first population proportion is equal to the second population proportion.
Expert Solution
Step 1

Number of favorable cases,x1=115

Sample Size,n1=214

Number of favorable cases,x2=138

Sample Size,n2=209

Significance Level,α=0.0500

 Ho : p1=p2H1 : p1<p2

 so, p^1=x1n1=115214=0.5374 so, p^2=x2n2=138209=0.6603 so, p¯=x1+x2n1+n2=253423=0.5981
