Question

For the test of significance questions, clearly indicate each of the formal steps in the test of significance.

Step 1: State the null and alternative hypothesis.
Step 2: Calculate the test statistic.
Step 3: Find the p-value.

Step 4: State your conclusion. (Do not just say “Reject H0” or “Do not reject H0”, state the conclusion in the context of the problem.)

Random samples of 50 women and 50 men are taken at Norwich University. They are asked their reaction to increased tuition fees. Of the women, 23 favored the increase. Of the men, 19 favor the increase. At a 10% significance level, does this indicate that a larger proportion of women favor the increase than men?
