2. Based on a poll of registered voters in a large city, 120 out of a random sample of 250 women intended to vote for Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election and 132 out of a random sample of 240 men intended to vote for Donald Trump. A. Is there convincing evidence that there is a difference in the proportion of all women and the proportion of all men in this city who intended to vote for Trump in the 2020 presidential election at the a = 0.05 level? B. Based on your conclusion, what type of error could you have just made? Describe a consequence of making this type of error.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Null hypothesis: There is no difference in the proportion who intended to vote for Trump among male and femalePM=PFAlternative hypothesis : There is a difference in the proportion who intended to vote for Trum among male and female.PMPFZ -test for two proportion is used to test the above hypothesisPM=132240=0.55PF=120250=0.48Pooled proportion = P =132+120240+250=0.5143Test statistics: Z = 0.55-0.480.51431-0.51431240+1250=1.5498

P-value of Z-statistics for two tailed is 0.1212

Since the p-value is greater than 0.05 level of significance, the 

result is not significant at P<.05

Hence we fails to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is no difference in the proportion who intended to vote for Trump among male and female PM=PF
