Topic 6 Homework (Nonadaptive) Question 11 of 11 (1 point)|Question Attempt: 2 of Unlimited

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Question 11 In the twentieth century, it was a common practice in Southern California for houses to be built with pools in the backyard. For new homes, however, that practice may be changing, possibly as a measure to help reduce climate change. A recent study examined a random sample of 144 houses built in Southern California in the twentieth century and an independent, random sample of 77 new houses built in Southern California. The sample of twentieth century houses contained 51 houses with pools, and the sample of new houses contained 22 houses with pools. Based on this survey, can we conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the proportion p1 of all Southern California twentieth century houses that were built with pools is greater than the proportion p2 of all new Southern California houses that were built with pools? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.

Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the parts below. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

(a) State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1. H0: H1: (b) Determine the type of test statistic to use. ▼(Choose one) (c) Find the value of the test statistic. (Round to three or more decimal places.)

(d) Find the p-value. (Round to three or more decimal places.)

(e) Can we conclude that the proportion of Southern California twentieth century houses built with pools is greater than the proportion for new homes? Yes No
