Test the claim that the proportion of men who own cats is
smaller than the proportion of women who own cats at the .01
significance level.
The null and alternative hypothesis would be:
H0:μM=μF
H1:μM≠μF
H0:pM=pF
H1:pM>pF
H0:μM=μF
H1:μM<μF
H0:μM=μF
H1:μM>μF
H0:pM=pF
H1:pM<pF
H0:pM=pF
H1:pM≠pF
The test is:
left-tailed
two-tailed
right-tailed
Based on a sample of 60 men, 40% owned cats
Based on a sample of 40 women, 50% owned cats
The test statistic is: (to 2 decimals)
The p-value is: (to 2 decimals)
Based on this we:
The statistical software output for this problem is :
H0 : pM = pF
H1: pM < pF
Test statistics = -0.99
P-value = 0.16
Fail to reject the null hypothesis
