Problem
Computing the Standardize Test Statistic You are testing the claim that the proportion of men who own cats is significantly different than the proportion of women who own cats. Assume the null hypothesis is that the population proportions equal. You sample 100 men, and \( 80 \% \) own cats. You sample 180 women, and \( 85 \% \) own cats. Find the test statistic, rounded to two decimal places. Submit Question \( 9 G \) 견 CHAPER 15 SU....docx H 0 Type here to search - 베 뭉ㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇ므으
Solution
Step 1 ：\( p_1 = \frac{80}{100} = 0.80 \), \( p_2 = \frac{153}{180} = 0.85 \)
Step 2 ：\( \hat{p} = \frac{80+153}{100+180} = \frac{233}{280} \approx 0.8321 \)
Step 3 ：\( Test\ Statistic = \frac{p_1 - p_2}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n_1} + \frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n_2}}} = \frac{(0.80 - 0.85)}{\sqrt{\frac{(0.8321)(1-0.8321)}{100} + \frac{(0.8321)(1-0.8321)}{180}}} \approx -1.7966 \)
