Suppose a group of researchers attempt to confirm the result of "Distractions in Everyday Driving," covered in News Story 5 "Driving while distracted is common, researchers say," by recreating the study. In a random sample or 240male drivers,102indicated they have experienced external distractions while driving. In addition, in a random sample of 270 female drivers, 98 indicated they have experienced external distractions while driving. Test whether the population proportion of male drivers experiencing external distractions while driving was greater than the population proportion of female drivers experiencing external distractions while driving. Use a .05 level of significance. A. What assumptions are required for conducting this test. B. State the null and alternative hypotheses (both mathematical notation and words) C. Calculate the test statistics (by hand) D. Give the P-value associated with the hypothesis test in part (a). E. State the conclusion, using p-value approach.
