Question 137871: Does anyone know what the formula for the z test for proportions is???
I have a few more questions that I really need help with solving.
1) Joan moves into her apartment and wants to purchase a new couch. She wants to determine if there is any difference between the average cost of couches at two different stores. Test the hypothesis that there is no difference at a=0.05.
_ Store 1 Store 2
x $650 $730
O $61 $78
n 24 21

2) Stating that the area under the curve between z=0 and z=1.00 is 0.3413 is the same as stating that the _________________ of selecting any z value between 0 and 1.00 is 0.3413.

3) A regression line was calculated as y = 9.7 -3.2x. The slope of this line is -3.2. True or false??

4) The ________________ are the number of values that are free to vary after sample statistic has been computed.

Thank you for any and all help that you can give me. I am really confused.

Does anyone know what the formula for the z test for proportions is???
Most textbooks use a t-test on proportion problems and on mean problems
where n is less than 30.
-------------
Z-values are critical values and are test statistics for one and two
sample proportions tests.

What are your "x" and "o" numbers.
The "x" looks like a sample mean
The "o" might be a sample standard deviation.
But it's hard to be sure.
--------------------------------
2) Stating that the area under the curve between z=0 and z=1.00 is 0.3413 is the same as stating that the PROBABILITY of selecting any z value between 0 and 1.00 is 0.3413.

3) A regression line was calculated as y = 9.7 -3.2x. The slope of this line is -3.2. True or false??
Ans: true

4) The ________________ are the number of values that are free to vary after sample statistic has been computed.
Sounds like degrees of freedom but I am not sure.
