Question

Assume that we have selected two independent random samples from populations having proportions p1 and p2 and that picture 1 = 800/1000 = 0.8 and picture 2 = 950/1000 = 0.95. Test H0: p1 – p2 > –.12 versus Ha: p1 – p2 < –.12 by using a p-value and by setting equal to .10, .05, .01, and .001. How much evidence is there that p2 exceeds p1 by more than .12? (Round p-value to 4 decimal and z value to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.) z = p - value= Reject H0 at = , but not at = ; rev: 04_07_2016_QC_CS-48200, 04_17_2017_QC_CS-86295, 02_26_2018_QC_CS-119770 Assume that we have selected two independent random samples from populations having proportions p1 and p2 and that picture 1 = 800/1000 = 0.8 and picture 2 = 950/1000 = 0.95.

Explanation / Answer

Sol:

H0:p1-p2=0.12

H1:p1-p2<=0.12

Left tail test

Z=p1^-p2^-(p1-p2)/sqrt(p1^(1-p1^)/n1+p2^(1-p2^)/n2)

=((0.8-0.95)-0.12)/(sqrt(0.8*(1-0.8)/1000+0.95(1-0.95)/1000))

Z=-0.15-0.12/sqrt(0.8*0.2+0.95*0.05/1000)

Z=-18.74

P=0.0000

REJECT H0 AT ALPHA=0.05
