The result from testing the claim of equal proportions are shown on the right. does there appear to be a significant difference between proportions of home wins? what do you conclude about the home field advantage?

does there appear to be a significant difference between the proportions of home wins? (use the lebel of significance = 0.05)

A)since the p value is small there is not significant difference

B)since the p value is small there is a significant difference

C)since the p value is large there is not a significant difference

D)since the p value is large there is a significant difference

Explanation / Answer

Answer is C

since the p value is large there is not a significant difference.

( we can reject null hypothesis with significance level more than p-value, but here significance level is less than p-value, so we cann't reject Null Hypothesis)
