    1. A study compared the proportion of voters favoring property reassessment in two districts. In district 1, 45 of 200 voters favored it, while in district 2, 55 of 200 favored it. A z-test was conducted and found no statistically significant difference in the proportions. 2. A study tested the claim that a new diet reduces weight by 10 pounds in 2 weeks on average. The weights of 7 women before and after following the diet for 2 weeks were recorded. A dependent t-test was conducted to compare weights before and after, and found that the average weight loss was not statistically significantly different from the claimed 10 pounds.

    Two-Sample Test of Proportions ( Z-Test )

    1. A random sample of 200 registered voters in each of two districts resulted in 45 of 200 urban voters
    supporting property reassessment while 55 suburban voters out of 200 favored reassessment. Is the
    proportion of voters who favor reassessment the same in each district? (Use .05 level of significant ).

    Solution:
    Step 1. Ho : P1 = P2
    Step 2. Ha : P1 ≠ P2
    Step 3. α = .05; The critical value of z is ± 1.96.
    P1−P2
    Step 4. The test statistics is Z =

    Step 5. Computation: Given

    n2
    n2 = 2 pts
    P1 = P2 = 3 pts

    Step 6. Decision: 2 pts

    Two-Sample Test of Means ( Dependent t – Test )

    2. It is claimed that a new diet will reduce a person’s weight by 10 pounds on the average in a
    period of 2 weeks. The weights of 7 women who followed this diet were recorded before and after 2 –
    week period.

    Women 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
    Weight before 129 133 136 152 141 138 125
    Weight after 130 121 128 137 129 132 120
    Test the claim of the manufacturer at 0.05 level of significance.
    Solution :
    Step 1. Ho. μ1 = μ2
    Step 2. Ha. μ1 < μ2
    Step 3. α = .05 C.V. = 1.796 df = n – 1 = 1 pt
