The numbers of online applications from simple random samples of college applications for 2004
and for the 2008 were taken. In 2004, out of 554 applications, 233 of them were completed online.
In 2008, out of 263 applications, 174 of them were completed online. Test the claim that the
proportion of online applications in 2004 was equal to the proportion of online applications in 2008
at the 0.005 significance level.
Claim: p1 = p2
which corresponds to H1: p1 <p2
XH0: p1=p2
Opposite: p 1≠p 2
which corresponds to H0: μ 1έμ 2
☑ ☑ H1: p1≠p2
The test is: left-tailed
The test statistic is: z =
(to 2 decimals)
The critical value is: z =
(to 2 decimals)
Based on this we: Reject the null hypothesis
Conclusion There does
می
✓✓ appear to be enough evidence to support the claim that
the proportion of online applications in 2004 was equal to the proportion of online applications in
2008.
