Independent random samples of n1 = 150 and n2 = 150 sales phone calls for an insurance policy were randomly selected from binomial populations 1 and 2, respectively. Sample 1 had 80 successful sales, and sample 2 had 88 successful sales. Suppose you have no preconceived theory concerning which parameter, p1 or p2, is the larger and you wish to detect only a difference between the two parameters if one exists.

Independent Random Samples

Samples selected from a population in such a way that each member has an equal chance of being chosen, with no dependence between the selections.

Standard Error

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of a statistic, commonly used to estimate the accuracy of sample mean as a predictor of the population mean.

Pooled Estimate

Combining estimates from different populations to obtain a single estimate that is more accurate and has a higher power due to a larger sample size.

  • Understand the process of constructing confidence intervals for the difference between two population proportions.
  • Understand the analysis of test statistics and p-values within hypothesis testing concerning population proportions.
  • Calculate and interpret the pooled estimate of proportion in hypothesis testing.
