In this exercise, test \[ H_{0}: p_{1}=p_{2} \text { vs } H_{a}: p_{1}>p_{2} \] with \( \hat{p}_{1}-\hat{p}_{2}=0.8-0.7=0.10 \) for different sample sizes. In parts (a) and (b), use StatKey or other technology to find the \( p \) - value. Click here to access StatKey. (a) \( \hat{p}_{1}=\frac{24}{30}=0.8 \) and \( \hat{p}_{2}=\frac{14}{20}=0.7 \) Round your answer to two decimal places.

To perform the hypothesis test and find the \( p \)-value using your given sample proportions, you would typically first calculate the standard error of the difference in proportions, then use the \( z \)-score formula for the test. Given your proportions: - Sample 1: \( \hat{p}_{1} = 0.8 \) from \( n_1 = 30 \) - Sample 2: \( \hat{p}_{2} = 0.7 \) from \( n_2 = 20 \) First, calculate the pooled proportion \( \hat{p} \): \[ \hat{p} = \frac{x_1 + x_2}{n_1 + n_2} = \frac{24 + 14}{30 + 20} = \frac{38}{50} = 0.76 \] Then, calculate the standard error (SE): \[ SE = \sqrt{\hat{p}(1 - \hat{p}) \left( \frac{1}{n_1} + \frac{1}{n_2} \right)} = \sqrt{0.76 \cdot 0.24 \left( \frac{1}{30} + \frac{1}{20} \right)} \] \[ = \sqrt{0.76 \cdot 0.24 \cdot \left( \frac{2 + 3}{60} \right)} = \sqrt{0.76 \cdot 0.24 \cdot \frac{5}{60}} \approx \sqrt{0.0768} \approx 0.277 \] Next, calculate the \( z \)-score: \[ z = \frac{(\hat{p}_1 - \hat{p}_2) - 0}{SE} = \frac{0.1}{0.277} \approx 0.361 \] Finally, use a statistical software like StatKey to find the \( p \)-value corresponding to this \( z \)-score for a right-tailed test (since \( H_a: p_1 > p_2 \)). For a \( z \)-score of approximately 0.361, the \( p \)-value is typically around 0.640. So, rounding to two decimal places, your answer is \( p \)-value \( \approx 0.64 \).
