Each year, more than 2 million people in the United States become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. In particular, the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention have launched studies of drug-resistant gonorrhea.† Suppose that, of 221 cases tested in a certain state, 14 were found to be drug-resistant. Suppose also that, of 322 cases tested in another state, 6 were found to be drug-resistant. Do these data suggest a statistically significant difference between the proportions of drug-resistant cases in the two states? Use a 0.02 level of significance. (Let
p
₁
= the population proportion of drug-resistant cases in the first state, and let
p
₂
= the population proportion of drug resistant cases in the second state.)

1) State the null and alternative hypotheses. (Enter != for ≠ as needed.)

2) What is the test statistic & P-value?

3) what is the conclusion?

A) Reject
H
₀. There is a significant difference in drug resistance between the two states.

B) Reject
H
₀. There is not a significant difference in drug resistance between the two states.

C) Do not reject
H
₀. There is not a significant difference in drug resistance between the two states.

D) Do not reject
H
₀. There is a significant difference in drug resistance between the two states.
