Answer:
Given
p-value = 0.0156
n = 200 families
Our conclusion goes as follows:
The statistical evidence is pretty strong enough to conclude that there is a difference in the proportion of Republicans between the two areas of town because we know that small p-value indicates significant differences, and a pvalue of 0.0156 is pretty small to ascertain our conclusion.
Testing the hypothesis, it can be concluded that since the p-value is of 0.0156 < 0.05, the proportion of Republicans between two areas of town is different.
At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportions are the same, that is:
[tex]H_0: p_1 - p_2 = 0[/tex]
At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the proportions are different, that is:
[tex]H_1: p_1 - p_2 \neq 0[/tex]
The p-value is of 0.0156, which is less than the standard significance level of 0.05, hence the null hypothesis is rejected, and it can be concluded that the proportions are different.
