Is the proportion of wildfires caused by humans in the south lower than the proportion of wildfires caused by humans in the west? 360 of the 501 randomly selected wildfires looked at in the south were caused by humans while 435 of the 588 randomly selected wildfires looked at the west were caused by humans. What can be concluded at the  = 0.10 level of significance?

For this study, we should use Select an answer t-test for the difference between two dependent population means z-test for the difference between two population proportions t-test for a population mean t-test for the difference between two independent population means z-test for a population proportion

The null and alternative hypotheses would be:


   Select an answer μ1 p1  Select an answer < ≠ > =  Select an answer μ2 p2  (please enter a decimal)

   Select an answer μ1 p1  Select an answer > ≠ < =  Select an answer p2 μ2  (Please enter a decimal)

The test statistic ? z t  =  (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.)

The p-value =  (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.)

The p-value is ? ≤ >

Based on this, we should Select an answer reject fail to reject accept  the null hypothesis.

Thus, the final conclusion is that ...

The results are statistically insignificant at αα = 0.10, so there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the population proportion of wildfires caused by humans in the south is lower than the population proportion of wildfires caused by humans in the west.

The results are statistically insignificant at αα = 0.10, so there is statistically significant evidence to conclude that the population proportion of wildfires caused by humans in the south is equal to the population proportion of wildfires caused by humans in the west.

The results are statistically significant at αα = 0.10, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of the 501 wildfires that were caused by humans in the south is lower than the proportion of the 588 wildfires that were caused by humans in the west.
