Question

Let p1 be the proportion of successes in the first population and let p2 be the proportion of successes in the second population. Suppose that you are testing the hypotheses: H0:p1−p2=0Ha:p1−p2≠0 Futhermore suppose that z∗=1.73, find and input the p-value for this test. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.

Answer 1

0.0836

Explanation:

Given that p1 be the proportion of successes in the first population and let p2 be the proportion of successes in the second population

`H_0:p_1-p_2=0\\H_a:p_1-p_2\\eq 0`

is the hypotheses created

This is two tailed

Test statistic Z = 1.73

corresponding p value

= 0.08363

=0.0836 (after rounding off to 4 decimals)
