A fashion magazine claims that females like to “shop” more than males. In interviews with 1000 randomly selected females, the magazine found that 700 like to “shop”.

\n" ); document.write( "Also, it was found that 520 out of 800 randomly selected males like to “shop”.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Test the magazines claim by a 0.02 level of significance.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Ho: p(f)-p(m) <= 0
\n" ); document.write( "Ha: p(f)-p(m) > 0 (claim)
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "t[(700/1000)-(520/800)] = (0.7-0.65)/sqrt[[(0.7*0.3/1000) + (0.65*0.35/800)]
\n" ); document.write( "= 2.2488
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "P-value = P(t > 2.2488 when df = 1800-2)) = tcdf(2.2488,100,1798) = 0.0159
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Since the p-value is less than 2%, reject Ho.
\n" ); document.write( "The test results support the claim.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "State the practical conclusion that refers to the information in this question.
\n" ); document.write( "Women like to shop more than men.
