Question 12

Do You Own a Smartphone?

A study¹ conducted in July 2015 examines smartphone ownership by US adults. A random sample of 2001 people were surveyed, and the study shows that 688 of the 989 men own a smartphone and 671 of the 1012 women own a smartphone. We want to test whether the survey results provide evidence of a difference in the proportion owning a smartphone between men and women.

Let group 1 be US men and let group 2 be US women.
