Chapter 9.4, Problem 1Q
The phenomenon of handedness has been extensively studied in human populations. The percentages of adults who are right-handed, left-handed, and ambidextrous are well documented. What is not so well known is that a similar phenomenon is present in lower animals. Dogs, for example, can be either right-pawed or left-pawed. Suppose that in a random sample of two hundred beagles, it is found that fifty-five are left-pawed and that in a random sample of two hundred collies, forty are left-pawed. Can we conclude that the difference in the two sample proportions of left-pawed dogs is statistically significant for
