A Gallup Poll in November of 2008 showed that 22% of men (110 out of 500) said they were seriously trying to lose weight. In 2006, 24% of men (120 out of 500) said they were seriously trying to lose weight. a) Determine the proportions of men in 2006 and in 2008 were seriously trying to lose weight. Let p1 stand for 2008 data and p2 be for 2006 data. b) state the null and alternate hypothesis.  c) Use your calculator to run a two-proportion hypothesis test. Interpret your result with respect to the significance level and the hypotheses in the context of the problem. (As part of your answer, write what you entered into your calculator for the hypothesis test.)
