Question
Do the percentage of positive Covid cases resulting in serious symptoms differ between sexes? nm = 700 random males who had just tested
positive for Covid were selected. Of these, xm = 226 wound up having serious symptoms. nf =600 random females who had just tested positive
for Covid were selected. Of these, xf = 150 wound up having serious symptoms. Suppose Pm is the true proportion of males testing positive for
Covid who wind up having serious symptoms. Suppose pf is the true proportion females testing positive for Covid who wind up having serious
symptoms. Pm and pf are unknown and we will examine relations between them based upon these samples. Let pmhat be the sample
proportion of selected males who wind up having serious symptoms. Let pfhat be the sample proportion of selected females who wind up having
serious symptoms.
