Question

A forest ranger is interested in the demographics of people who visit national parks. The forest ranger keeps track of visitors over a weekend and notes the proportion of visitors who come from the state the park is in, and compares that to the proportion of visitors who come from surrounding states. He wants to find out if there is a difference.

two sample, dependent means

hypothesis test for slope

two sample, independent means

cannot do

two sample proportion

Answer 1

it is clear that the forest ranger wants to compare the proportions of visitors who come from the state, the park is in and visitors who come from the surrounding states.

so, it is a clear that this is a hypothesis for the significant difference between two sample proportions.

therefore, option E (two sample proportion) is correct

dependent means and independent means are incorrect because we are finding the difference between the proportions

hypothesis test for slope is incorrect because we are not testing for the slope, but for the proportion difference
