Generally speaking, would you say that most people can be trusted? A random sample of n1 = 242 people in Chicago ages 18-25 showed that r1 = 42 said yes. Another random sample of n2 = 278 people in Chicago ages 35-45 showed that r2 = 74 said yes. Does this indicate that the population proportion of trusting people in Chicago is higher for the older group? Use α = 0.01.
(a) What is the level of significance?
State the null and alternate hypotheses.
aH0: p1 = p2; H1: p1 ≠ p2
bH0: p1 = p2; H1: p1 < p2
c H0: p1 < p2; H1: p1 = p2
dH0: p1 = p2; H1: p1 > p2
(b) What sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are
you making?
aThe standard normal. The number of trials is sufficiently large.
bThe Student's t. The number of trials is sufficiently large.
c The Student's t. We assume the population distributions are approximately normal.
dThe standard normal. We assume the population distributions are approximately normal.
What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Test the
difference p1 − p2. Do not
use rounded values. Round your final answer to two decimal
places.)
_______________
(c) Find (or estimate) the P-value. (Round your answer to
four decimal places.)

five sporting goods stores across the state of California. Each
store was part of a large franchise of sporting goods stores. The
consultant taught the managers of each store better ways to
advertise and display their goods. The net sales for 1 month before
and 1 month after the consultant's visit were recorded as follows
for each store (in thousands of dollars):

A random sample of n1 = 14 winter days in
Denver gave a sample mean pollution index x1 =
43. Previous studies show that σ1 = 21. For
Englewood (a suburb of Denver), a random sample of
n2 = 12 winter days gave a sample mean
pollution index of x2 = 37. Previous studies
show that σ2 = 17. Assume the pollution index
is normally distributed in both Englewood and Denver.
