Compare the mortality rate between two different countries of interest or between the Worldwide rate and any one country of interest. You will perform a Two Sample Hypothesis Test of Proportions to compare the data. Be sure to conduct a complete five step Hypothesis Test. You may want to review the example problems posted in this week’s discussion stream. State the conclusions based on the results of the test. Are there any reasons for the similarity or difference in mortality rates in the test? In your estimation is there any reason to question the validity or reliability of the data used in the test? Could you suggest any other test of the attached data or any other data set regarding the COVID-19 trends among these countries?
Location | Confirmed | Deaths |
Worldwide | 9,003,042 | 469,220 |
