Question

You wish to test the following claim (Ha) at a significance level of α=0.02.

      Ho:p1=p2
      Ha:p1<p2

You obtain a random sample of size 299 from the first population, with 217 successes. You obtain a random sample of size 718 from the second population, with 549 successes.

What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to 2 decimal places.)
test statistic = 

What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to 3 decimal places.)
p-value = 

The p-value is...

  • less than αα
  • greater than αα



This test statistic leads to a decision to...

  • reject the null
  • accept the null
  • fail to reject the null



As such, the final conclusion is that...

  • Because our p-value is less than alpha, we fail to reject the Ho. There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the first population proportion is less than the second population proportion.
  • Because our p-value is greater than alpha, we reject the Ho. There is enough evidence to support the claim that the first population proportion is less than the second population proportion.
  • Because our p-value is less than alpha, we reject the Ho. There is enough evidence to support the claim that the first population proportion is less than the second population proportion.
  • Because our p-value is greater than alpha, we fail to reject the Ho. There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the first population proportion is less than the second population proportion.
