Question

Independent random samples of sizes n1 = 204  and n2 = 204 were taken from two populations.  In the first sample, 179 of the individuals met a certain criteria whereas in the second sample, 181 of the individuals met the same criteria.

 

Test the null hypothesis H0:p1=p2H0:p1=p2versus the alternative hypothesis HA:p1>p2HA:p1>p2.

 

Calculate the z  test statistic, testing the null hypothesis that the population proportions are equal.  Round your response to at least 2 decimal places.
