When the necessary conditions are met, a two-tailed test is being conducted to test the difference between two population proportions. The two sample proportions are and , and the standard error of the sampling distribution of is 0.0085. The calculated value of the test statistic will be z = 3.41.

Question

When the necessary conditions are met, a two-tailed test is being conducted to test the difference between two population proportions. The two sample proportions are  and  , and the standard error of the sampling distribution of  is 0.0085. The calculated value of the test statistic will be z = 3.41.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is true as the calculated value of the test statistic (z=3.41) is greater than the critical value of the two-tailed test at the chosen level of significance. Therefore, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a significant difference between the two population proportions.
