Two proportions quiz: 10 questions

Question 1
-0.10-0.050.000.050.100.150.20p1 – p20.020.160
Interval for p1 – p2.

What does this 95% interval for p1 – p2 suggest?

Question 2
-3-10132.3-2.3z
Two-sided p-value.

What is the two-sided p-value for z = 2.3?

Question 3
YesNoA4060B3070
Two groups.

What is the pooled proportion?

Question 4
The standard error in a two-proportion confidence interval uses:

Question 5
When H0: p1 = p2, the standard error uses:

Question 6
An experiment’s two groups were formed by random assignment. For a two-proportion procedure, the 10% condition is:

Question 7
A 95% interval for p1 – p2 is (-0.05, 0.03). Which statement is correct?

Question 8
Which is a valid use of a two-sample z procedure?

Question 9
A smaller standard error gives:

Question 10
If p-value = 0.003 for H0: p1 = p2, then at alpha = 0.05:

Remember

Remember
  • Parameter: p1 – p2; statistic: p-hat1 – p-hat2.
  • Interval: (p-hat1 – p-hat2) +/- z* sqrt(p-hat1(1 – p-hat1)/n1 + p-hat2(1 – p-hat2)/n2).
  • Test: pooled p-hat_c = (x1 + x2)/(n1 + n2); z = (p-hat1 – p-hat2)/sqrt(p-hat_c(1 – p-hat_c)(1/n1 + 1/n2)).
  • Conditions: independent random samples (or random assignment); 10% condition; at least 10 successes and 10 failures in each group.
  • If the interval contains 0, a difference of 0 is plausible; if it does not, there is evidence of a difference.
