Test the claim that the proportion of men who own cats is smaller than the proportion of women who own cats at the .05 significance level. The null and alternative hypothesis would be: H 0 : p M = p F H0:pM=pF H 1 : p M ≠ p F H1:pM≠pF H 0 : μ M = μ F H0:μM=μF H 1 : μ M < μ F H1:μM<μF H 0 : p M = p F H0:pM=pF H 1 : p M > p F H1:pM>pF H 0 : p M = p F H0:pM=pF H 1 : p M < p F H1:pM μ F H1:μM>μF H 0 : μ M = μ F H0:μM=μF H 1 : μ M ≠ μ F H1:μM≠μF
The test is: left-tailed two-tailed right-tailed Based on a sample of 20 men, 35% owned cats
Based on a sample of 20 women, 60% owned cats
The test statistic is: (to 2 decimals)
The p-value is: (to 2 decimals)
Based on this we: Reject the null hypothesis Fail to reject the null hypothesis
