Find the test statistic z for the following situation Claim
Find the test statistic, z, for the following situation: Claim: p_1
Solution
p = (p1 * n1 + p2 * n2) / (n1 + n2) = ( 140+ 255) / ( 200 + 340) = 0.7314815....
std. error = sqrt{ p * ( 1 - p ) * [ (1/n1) + (1/n2) ] = sqrt( 0.7314815*( 1 - 0.7314815)*( ( 1/200)+( 1/340) )
= 0.03949401.......
Test statistic = [ ( 140 / 200) - ( 255 /340) ] / 0.03949401 = -1.266015......
p-value = 0.1030278 d.f = 340+200 -2 = 538....
