Procedure Hypothesis Testing

This document outlines the steps to test whether two population proportions are equal using a z-test. It calculates the pooled sample proportion, standard error, test statistic z, and associated p-value. It is testing if the proportion of successes from two samples are equal, fails to reject the null hypothesis that they are equal since the p-value is greater than the significance level of 0.01.

H0: P1 = P2

Ha: P1 P2

p = (p1 * n1 + p2 * n2) / (n1 + n2)


where p1 is the sample proportion from population 1, p2 is the sample proportion
from population 2, n1 is the size of sample 1, and n2 is the size of sample 2.
p1 = 62/113 (proportion for Jordan)
p2 = 51/113 (proportion for James)
n1= 62, n2=51
p = 0.5048
Standard error. Compute the standard error (SE) of the sampling distribution
difference between two proportions.
SE = sqrt{ p * ( 1 - p ) * [ (1/n1) + (1/n2) ] }
where p is the pooled sample proportion, n1 is the size of sample 1, and n2 is the
size of sample 2.
SE= 0.0945

Test statistic. The test statistic is a z-score (z) defined by the following equation.
z = (p1 - p2) / SE
where p1 is the proportion from sample 1, p2 is the proportion from sample 2, and SE is
the standard error of the sampling distribution.
Z =1.03
Associated p value =0.303 > 0.01
Thus, we dont reject the null hypothesis
