They found weather records on the internet and each of them randomly selected 60 days from the past 5 years. Janice found that there had been measurable rainfall on 17 of the 60 days she selected for Asheville, and Linda found that there had been measurable rainfall on 12 of the 60 days she selected for Lincoln. They intend to perform a test of significance on their data, using the hypotheses When calculating the test statistic, what expression would they use to estimate the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the difference in proportions,

Answer 1

Following are the equation to this question:

Explanation:

`\to (√((.24)(.76)))/(60) + ((.24)(.76))/(60)\\\\\to (√(0.1824))/(60) + (0.1824)/(60)\\\\\to (0.42708313)/(60) + (0.1824)/(60)\\\\\to (0.42708313+0.1824)/(60) \\\\\to (0.60948313)/(60) \\\\\to 0.0101580522`
