-----------------------------------------
Ho: p1-p2 = 0
Ha: p1-p2 is not equal to 0
----------------------------------
p1-hat = 20/100
p2-hat = 30/125
---------------------
alpha = 2%
=========================
I ran a 2-Prop Ztest and got the following:
test stat: z = -0.7171
p-value: 0.4733
----
Since the p-value is greater than 2%, fail to reject Ho.
==============================
Cheers,
