Question
10.45. Medical tests were conducted to learn about drug-resistant tuberculosis. Of 142 cases tested in New Jersey, 9 were found to be drug-resistant. Of 268 cases tested in Texas, 5 were found to be drug-resistant. Do these data suggest a statistically significant difference between the proportions of drug-resistant cases in the two states? Use a .02 level of significance. What is the p-value, and what is your conclusion?
For problem 10.45, what are the hypotheses?
H0: NJ TX HA: NJ < TX
H0: pNJ = pTX HA: pNJ pTX
H0: NJ TX HA: NJ > TX
H0: pNJ pTX HA: pNJ > pTX
H0: NJ = TX HA: NJ TX
H0: NJ TX HA: NJ < TX
H0: pNJ = pTX HA: pNJ pTX
H0: NJ TX HA: NJ > TX
H0: pNJ pTX HA: pNJ > pTX
H0: NJ = TX HA: NJ TX
