A random sample of n1 = 292 voters registered in the state of California showed that 141 voted in the last general election. A random sample of n2 = 215 registered voters in the state of Colorado showed that 125 voted in the most recent general election. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of voter turnout in Colorado is higher than that in California? Use a 5% level of significance. (a) What is the level of significance?   What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Test the difference p1 − p2. Do not use rounded values. Round your final answer to two decimal places.) (c) Find (or estimate) the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
