You are testing the claim that the proportion of men who own cats is smaller than the proportion of women who own cats. You sample 140 men, and 30% own cats. You sample 80 women, and 65% own cats. Find the test statistic, rounded to two decimal places.
We have given for the example
x1=140*0.30=42
n1=140
x2=80*0.65=52
n2=80
Estimate for sample proportion 1
Estimate for sample proportion 2
