Question
We want to make a comparison on the proportion of deaths due to lung cancer in
the general population of chemical plant workers versus the proportion of deaths
due to lung cancer for those working in a new chemical plant. We draw a sample and
find the proportion of deaths due to lung cancer in the general population of
chemical plant workers nationwide is estimated at 12.8% (n=250). Suppose that of
100 deaths that occurred in a new chemical plant, 22 were found to be due to lung
cancer. We wish to determine whether there is a difference between the proportion
of deaths from lung cancer in this new plant compared to the proportion of deaths
due to lung cancer in the general population of chemical plant workers. The
hypotheses for this test are H,:P1 – P2 = 0 vs. Ha: P1 – P2 0 and x=0.05. What is
the p-value?
