A poll found that of 79 registered voters under 45 years of age,
18 favored a particular candidate. Of 65 registered voters aged at
least 45 years old, 15 favored the same candidate.
Using α=0.1α=0.1, test the claim that the two age groups support
this candidate in equal proportions
Solution -
from provided information data is summarised and hypothesis test is calculated.
Let,
sample 1 represent registered voters under 45 years. (1st proportion)
sample 2 represent registered voters aged at least 45 years (second proportion)
● Hypothesis-
Ho : the two age groups support this candidate in equal proportions.
H1 : the two age groups support this candidate in different proportions.
◆ Test Results-
Test results that the null hypothesis is not rejected.
therefore we have enough evidence to support the claim that the two age groups this candidate in equal proportions.
