Chapter 10.3, Problem 7P

Federal Tax Money: Art Funding Would you favor spending more federal (ax money on the arts? This question was asked by a research group on behalf of The National Institute (Reference: Painting by Numbers. J. Wypijewski, University of California Press). Of a random sample of $n_1=220$ women, $r_1=59$ responded yes. Another random sample of $n_2=175$ men showed that $r_2=56$ responded yes. Does this information indicate a difference (either way) between the population proportion of women and the population proportion of men who favor spending more federal tax dollars on the arts? Use $\alpha =0.05$.
