According to literature on brand loyalty, consumers who are loyal to a brand are likely to consistently select the same product. This type of consistency could come from a positive childhood association. To examine brand loyalty among fans of the Chicago Cubs, 366 Cubs fans among patrons of a restaurant located in Wrigleyville were surveyed prior to a game at Wrigley Field, the Cubs' home field. The respondents were classified as "die-hard fans" or "less loyal fans." Of the 134 die-hard fans, 91.0% reported that they had watched or listened to Cubs games when they were children. Among the 232 less loyal fans, 70.3% said that they watched or listened as children. (Let D = pdie-hard − pless loyal.)
(a) Find the numbers of die-hard Cubs fans who watched or listened to games when they were children. Do the same for the less loyal fans. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)
die-hard fans=
less loyal fans=
(b) Use a one sided significance test to compare the die-hard fans with the less loyal fans with respect to their childhood experiences relative to the team. (Use your rounded values from part (a). Use α = 0.01. Round your z-value to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.)
z=
P-value=
(c) Express the results with a 95% confidence interval for the difference in proportions. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

Solutionb:
z=(0.91-0.703)/sqrt((0.91*(1-0.91)/132)+(0.703*(1-0.703)/232))
z=5.31
P VALUE can be found in excel as

(c) Express the results with a 95% confidence interval for the difference in proportions. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
z alpha/2 fro 95%=1.96
lower bound=(0.91-0.703)-1.96 sqrt(0.91*(1-0.91)/132+0.703*(1-0.703)/232)
