Two Sample Testing

Question

You wish to test the following claim (Ha) at a significance level of α=0.10

      Ho:p1=p2

      Ha:p1>p2

You obtain 60.3% successes in a sample of size n1=363 from the first population. You obtain 45.3% successes in a sample of size n2=201 from the second population. Round values for X to the nearest whole number.

What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.) 

test statistic = 

What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.) 

p-value = 

Answer 1

You need to conduct a non-parametric hypothesis testing procedure called 

Z test for two population proportions to get the test statistic for this question. 

Answers to the specific items you asked for:

1. The test statistic for the sample or z-statistic = 3.429
2. The value of p = 0.0006
