Question

Is there a difference between men and women when it comes to seeking preventative healthcare? At the a = 0.10 level of significance, test the claim that the proportion of those who have had a wellness visit with their physician in the past year is the same for men and women. Let pe represent the proportion of females who have had a wellness visit with their physician in the past year and PM represent the proportion of males who have done the same. Which would be correct hypotheses for this test? Ho: PF = PM, H1-PF PM HPp = PM, H:Pp > PM HOPF + PHPp > PM Ho: PF = PM, HPF <PM In a random sample of 239 females, 205 have had a wellness visit with their physician in the past year. In a random sample of 169 males, 127 have had a wellness visit with their physician in the past year. Find the test statistic (2 decimal places): Give the P-value (4 decimal places - if less than 0.001 answer O): Which is the correct result: Do not Reject the Null Hypothesis Reject the Null Hypothesis Which would be the appropriate conclusion? There is not significant evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the proportions of men and women who seek preventative care are the same. There is significant evidence to to warrant rejection of the claim that the proportions of men and women who seek preventative care are the same.

Answer 1

The correct hypothere's for this text HoIPE = PM H, PE FPM lie. there is a difference between men and women when it comes to seeking preventative healthcare) So option (a) is connect. brinen. Female Male random Sample n, - = 239 ng 5169 e = 205 Hey = = 127 then visited their physician Sample Estimated of proportion female when it have had a wellner visit with their physician in the past year. If = 2 = 205 = 0,8577 mo 239 127 = 0.7515 169 Sample Estimated of proportion made when it have had a wellness visit with their physician in the past year PM = Ha ng The value of the pooled proportion is computed P - 205 +127 0, 8137 mitng 239+169 The Siginificance 98 x + xq level is a = 0,10

Test Statistica The z- statistic is Z= â. - Page 0.8577 - 0.7515 +1 Vă 0-7)(* * tore) 0.0137.61-0.8137) • 8137)|1/239* Z: 2716 This is tent Statistic value.
