Note: I've reordered which proportion is considered  p¯p¯ 1 and which is  p¯p¯ 2 so we get a positive difference between the proportions.

Consider the following competing hypotheses and accompanying sample data. Note I've rewritten the question so you have a positive difference. Use Table 1.
H0: p1 − p2 < 0
HA: p1 − p2 > 0
  x1 = 275 x2 = 250
  n1 = 400 n2 = 400
a.

At the 5% significance level, find the critical value(s). Remember, we are not pooling.  (Round final answer to 2 decimal places.)
  Critical value   
b.

Calculate the value of the test statistic. (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.)
  Test statistic   
c. What is the conclusion?

  • Reject H0 since the value of the test statistic is not less than the critical value.

  • Do not reject H0 since the value of the test statistic is not less than the critical value.

  • Reject H0 since the value of the test statistic is less than the critical value.

  • Do not reject H0 since the value of the test statistic is less than the critical value.

A study was conducted to determine the proportion of people who dream in black and white instead of color. Among 299 people over the age of 55, 61dream in black and white, and among 287 people under the age of 25, 10 dream in black and white. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is greater than the proportion for those under 25. Complete parts...
