The following results are for two independent samples taken from the two populations.
Sample 1 | Sample 2 |
n1 = 40 | n2 = 50 |

She obtains a random sample of 120 containers of ground beef and finds that 84 percent have the correct fat content. Molly then conducts a hypothesis test of H0:p=0.80H0:p=0.80 versus Ha:p≠0.80Ha:p≠0.80 and calculates a test statistic of 1.10 with a pp-value of 0.273. Which of the following best represents the meaning of the pp-value? If the population proportion is 0.84, the probability of observing a sample proportion of 0.80 is 0.273. A If the population proportion is 0.84, the probability of observing a sample proportion of at least 0.04 less than 0.84 is 0.273.
