Comparing Two Independent Population Proportions · Exercise 18
DIRECTIONS: For each of the word problems, use a solution sheet to do the hypothesis test. The solution sheet is found in Appendix E. Please feel free to make copies of the solution sheets. For the online version of the book, it is suggested that you copy the.doc or the.pdf files.
A recent drug survey showed an increase in the use of prescription medication among local senior citizens as compared to the national percent. Suppose that a survey of 100 local seniors and 100 national seniors is conducted to see if the proportion of prescription medication use is higher locally or nationally. Locally, 65 senior citizens reported taking prescription medication within the past month, while 60 national seniors reported using them.
This exercise builds on another exercise in its source book, which isn't shown here.
