QUESTION 1:
This involves carrying out a hypothesis test for the difference in proportions.

Ho : p1 – p2 = 0
Ha: p1-p2 > 0

Phat1 = 10/55 =0.1818
Phat 2 = 4/78 = 0.0513

Z statistic =

( Phat 1− Phat 2)
𝑝1∗𝑞1 𝑝2∗𝑞2
+
𝑛1
𝑛2



Z=

( 0.1818− 0.0513)
0.1818∗0.8182 0.0513∗0.9487

+
55
78

Z= 2.42
P value = 0.0079
Since the p value is less than the significance level, we reject the null and conclude that there is a
significantly higher proportion of individuals with dri...
