In: Statistics and Probability
Test whether p 1 greater than p 2. The sample data are x 1 equals 124, n 1 equals 259, x 2 equals 139, and n 2 equals 305. Determine test statistic and P value
We have given for the example
x1=124
n1=259
x2=139
n2=305
Estimate for sample proportion 1=
Estimate for sample proportion 2=
Pooled proportion
Z test statistic formula is
=0.548
P value =0.2918..................by using Z table or Excel =1-NORMSDIST(0.548)
