1. Response insurance collects data on seat-belt usage among U.S. drivers. Of 2000 drivers 25-
34 years old, 25% said that they buckled up, whereas 1658 of 2400 drivers 45-64 years old
said that they did.
(a) At the 5% significance level, do the data suggest that the population proportion of 45-64
years old drivers who buckle up is greater than the population proportion of 25-34 years
old drivers who buckle up?
Step 1: Definition of variable
P =
P2 =
Step 2: Find sample size, number of successes, and sample proportion from data.
sample size: n
sample size: n, =
number of successes: x,
number of successes: x,
X,
sample proportion: , :
sample proportion: p,
X, +X2 =
sample pooled proportion: p,
n +n,
Step 3:
Write the hypothesis statement.
H, : P = P2
H, : P P2

Step 4: Check the assumptions for two-proportion z-test. Use two-proportion z-test for this
problem.
(1) Are the two samples simple random samples?
(2) Are the two samples indepedent samples?
(3) Is x, > 5 ?
Is x, > 5 ?
Is (п, - х,)>5?
Is (п, — х,) >5?
Step 5: Find the rejection area, critical value(s), test statistic, and p-value. Draw the
distribution curve and label the rejection area, critical value(s), test statistic, and p-
value on the curve. Use the z table for finding the critical value and p-value for z-
test. You can also use the Excel function "norms.dist" for finding p-value for z-test.

Step 6: Make a decision to reject Ho or not reject Ho based on both critical value and p-
value.
Do you reject Ho? (Answer: yes or no)
Step 7: Draw a conclusion based on the decision in Step 6, i.e.
Do the data suggest that the population proportion of 45-64 years old drivers who
buckle
up
is
greater than the population proportion of 25-34 years old drivers who
buckle up? (Answer: yes or no)
