In: Statistics and Probability
You also have been asked to study whether there are any differences in the proportions of the yearly sales of various Nikon camera bodies concerning whether a purchase of the body includes the purchase of a lens that fits the camera at the time of the purchase of the body. Random samples of yearly sales at stores throughout the country of these various camera bodies are taken. The sample data concerning sales of the camera bodies with and without the purchase of a lens is shown below in appendix two. At each of the 10% and 5% levels of significance, are there any differences in the proportions of the sales of the camera bodies concerning whether a lens is also purchased? If, at either level of significance, you find any differences in the proportions of sales of the units concerning the purchase of a lens, perform the necessary work in order to ascertain where any possible differences lie.
Appendix Two:
Camera Body
Purchase a Lens? D5 D850 D7500 D7200
Yes 82 76 48 39
No 66 68 21 11
The hypothesis being tested is:
H0: There any no differences in the proportions of the sales of the camera bodies concerning whether a lens is also purchased
Ha: There any differences in the proportions of the sales of the camera bodies concerning whether a lens is also purchased

.0001 | p-value |
The p-value is 0.0001.
Since the p-value (0.0001) is less than the significance level (0.05), we can reject the null hypothesis.
Therefore, we can conclude that there any differences in the proportions of the sales of the camera bodies concerning whether a lens is also purchased.
