A certain financial services company uses surveys of adults age 18 and older to determine if personal financial fitness is changing over time. A recent sample of 1,000 adults showed 410 indicating that their financial security was more than fair. Suppose that just a year before, a sample of 1,200 adults showed 420 indicating that their financial security was more than fair.


(a)


State the hypotheses that can be used to test for a significant difference between the population proportions for the two years. (Letp
1 = population proportion most recently saying financial security more than fair andp
2 = population proportion from the year before saying financial security more than fair. Enter != for ≠ as needed.)


H
0:

p1​−p2​=0



H
a:

p1​−p2​!=0







(b)


Conduct the hypothesis test and compute thep-value. At a 0.05 level of significance, what is your conclusion?

Find the value of the test statistic. (Use
p1 − p2.

Round your answer to two decimal places.)


Find thep-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)


p-value =

State your conclusion.

0. There is sufficient evidence to conclude the population proportions are not equal. The data suggest that there has been a change in the population proportion saying that their financial security is more than fair.





(c)


What is the 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the two population proportions? (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

 to

What is your conclusion?

The 95% confidence interval  ---Select--- is completely above is completely below contains zero, so we can be 95% confident that the population proportion of adults saying that their financial security is more than fair  ---Select--- has increased may have stayed the same has decreased .
