From the test the person wants, and the sample data, we build the test hypothesis, find the test statistic, and use this to reach a conclusion.
This is a two-sample test, thus, it is needed to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.
Doing this:
- The null hypothesis is
- The alternative hypothesis is
- The value of the test statistic is z = -2.67.
- The p-value of the test is 0.0076 < 0.05(standard significance level), which means that there is enough evidence to conclude that the proportion of people who wear life vests while riding a jet ski is not the same as the proportion of people who wear life vests while riding in a boat.
-------------------
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean and standard deviation
, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean
and standard deviation
.
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean and standard deviation
Subtraction between normal variables:
When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.
-------------------------------------
Proportion 1: Jet-ski users
86.5% out of 400, thus:
Proportion 2: boaters
92.8% out of 250, so:
------------------------------------------------
Hypothesis:
Test the claim that the proportion of people who wear life vests while riding a jet ski is not the same as the proportion of people who wear life vests while riding in a boat.
At the null hypothesis, it is tested that the proportions are the same, that is, the subtraction is 0. So
At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested that the proportions are different, that is, the subtraction is different of 0. So
------------------------------------------------------
Test statistic:
The test statistic is:
In which X is the sample mean, is the value tested at the null hypothesis, and s is the standard error.
0 is tested at the null hypothesis.
This means that
From the samples:
The value of the test statistic is:
The value of the test statistic is z = -2.67.
---------------------------------------------
p-value of the test and decision:
The p-value of the test is the probability that the proportion differs by at at least 0.063, which is P(|z| > 2.67), given by 2 multiplied by the p-value of z = -2.67.
Looking at the z-table, z = -2.67 has a p-value of 0.0038.
2*0.0038 = 0.0076.
The p-value of the test is 0.0076 < 0.05(standard significance level), which means that there is enough evidence to conclude that the proportion of people who wear life vests while riding a jet ski is not the same as the proportion of people who wear life vests while riding in a boat.
