Question

You wish to test the following claim (HaHa) at a significance level of α=0.001

      Ho:p1=p2
      Ha:p1<p2

You obtain 4.7% successes in a sample of size n1=299 from the first population. You obtain 7.8% successes in a sample of size n2=602 from the second population. For this test, you should NOT use the continuity correction, and you should use the normal distribution as an approximation for the binomial distribution.

What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.)
test statistic = 

What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.)
p-value = 

The p-value is...

  • less than (or equal to) αα
  • greater than αα



This test statistic leads to a decision to...

  • reject the null hypothesis
  • accept the null hypothesis
  • fail to reject the null hypothesis



As such, the final conclusion is that...

  • There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the first population proportion is less than the second population proportion.
  • There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the first population proportion is less than the second population proportion.
  • The sample data support the claim that the first population proportion is less than the second population proportion.
  • There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the first population proportion is less than the second population proportion.
