You are testing the claim that the proportion of men who own cats is significantly different than the proportion of women who own cats. You sample 80 men, and 55% own cats. You sample 100 women, and 30% own cats. Find the test statistic, rounded to two decimal places. 41.11Incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a test of 2 population proportions. Let 1 and 2 be the subscript for the men and women who own cats respectively. The population proportion of men and women who own cats would be p1 and p2 respectively.

p1 - p2 = difference in the proportion of men and women who own cats.

The null hypothesis is

H0 : p1 = p2

p1 - p2 = 0

The alternative hypothesis is

Ha : p1 ≠ p2

p1 - p2 ≠ 0

it is a two tailed test

Sample proportion = x/n

Where

x represents number of success

n represents number of samples

For men

n1 = 80

p1 = 55/100 = 0.55

x1 = p1n1 = 0.55 × 80 = 44

For women,

n2 = 100

p2 = 30/100 = 0.3

x2 = p2n2 = 0.3 × 100 = 30

The pooled proportion, pc is

pc = (x1 + x2)/(n1 + n2)

pc = (44 + 30)/(80 + 100) = 0.41

1 - pc = 1 - 0.41 = 0.59

z = (p1 - p2)/√pc(1 - pc)(1/n1 + 1/n2)

z = (0.55 - 0.3)/√(0.41)(0.59)(1/80 + 1/100) = 3.39

Test statistic = 3.39
