- Researchers conducted a study to determine that having
a gene disruption may be related to an increased risk of
developing dyslexia. The two-way table indicates whether those
having the gene disruption have a different
proportion between having dyslexia versus no
dyslexia.

- Calculate the statistic (with the notation)
you will need to perform a hypothesis test.
- Perform a hypothesis test to determine whether
there is a difference in proportion of those with the gene
disruption who have dyslexia versus those with no
dyslexia
- State the null and alternative hypotheses. DRAW/LABEL/SHADE a
curve, and identify the resulting p-value
- At =.05 significance level, what is your conclusion for your
test in context of the problem?
