employed persons and 690 unemployed persons are independently and randomly selected, and that 429 of the employed persons and 369 of the unemployed persons
have registered to vote. Can we conclude that the percentage of employed workers (P1), who have registered to vote, exceeds the percentage of unemployed workers
(P2), who have registered to vote? Use a significance level of α = 0.05 for the test.
