\n" ); document.write( "You sample \"160\" men, and \"15\"% =\"0.15\" own cats. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"160%2A0.15=24\"
\n" ); document.write( "so, the proportion of men who own cats is \"24%2F160\"->\"3%2F20\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You sample \"120\" women, and \"35\"% own cats. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"120%2A0.35=42\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, the proportion of women who own cats is \"42%2F120\"=>\"7%2F20\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since \"3%2F20%3C7%2F20+\", it proves that the proportion of men who own cats is smaller than the proportion of women who own cats
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
