I used-a 2-proportion z-test on my TI calculator to get the following results:
\n" ); document.write( "Ho: p1 = p2
\n" ); document.write( "Ha: p1 is not equal to p2
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Test statistic: z(-.74-0.84) = -3.881922
\n" ); document.write( "p-value: 0.00010367
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Conclusion: Since the p-value is less than 5%, reject Ho.
\n" ); document.write( "p1 is not equal to p2
\n" ); document.write( "==============================
