Question

(g) Interpret the results. 14. | Basic Computation: Test p-P2 For one binomial experiment, 200 binomial trials produced 60 successes. For a second independent binomial experimen 400 binomial trials produced 156 successes. At the 5% level of significance. test the claim that the probability of success for the second binomial experi- ment is greater than that for the first. (a) Compute the pooled probability of success for the two experiments (b) Check Requirements What distribution does the sample test statistic follow? Explain. (c) State the hypotheses (d) Compute pi p2 and the corresponding sample test statistic. (e) Find the P-value of the sample test statistic. (f) Conclude the test. (g) Interpret the results.

Explanation / Answer

14.

a.

probability of success of two experiments x1 =60, n1 =200, p1= x1/n1=0.3

x2 =156, n2 =400, p2= x2/n2=0.39

b.

Z test for difference of proportion is required

c.

null, Ho: p1 = p2

alternate, H1: p1 < p2

d.

Given that,

sample one, x1 =60, n1 =200, p1= x1/n1=0.3

sample two, x2 =156, n2 =400, p2= x2/n2=0.39

null, Ho: p1 = p2

alternate, H1: p1 < p2

level of significance, = 0.05

from standard normal table,left tailed z /2 =1.645

since our test is left-tailed

reject Ho, if zo < -1.645

we use test statistic (z) = (p1-p2)/(p^q^(1/n1+1/n2))

zo =(0.3-0.39)/sqrt((0.36*0.64(1/200+1/400))

zo =-2.1651

| zo | =2.1651

critical value

the value of |z | at los 0.05% is 1.645

we got |zo| =2.165 & | z | =1.645

make decision

hence value of | zo | > | z | and here we reject Ho

p-value: left tail - Ha : ( p < -2.1651 ) = 0.01519

hence value of p0.05 > 0.01519,here we reject Ho

ANSWERS

---------------

null, Ho: p1 = p2

alternate, H1: p1 < p2

test statistic: -2.1651

critical value: -1.645

e.

p-value: 0.01519

f.

decision: reject Ho

g.

probability of success second experiment is greater than the first experiment
