In determining the “goodness” of a test question, a teacher will often compare the percentage of better students who answer it correctly with the percentage of poorer students who answer it correctly. One expects that the proportion of better students who will answer the question correctly is greater than the proportion of poorer students who will answer it correctly. On the last test, 35 of the students with the top 60 grades and 27 of the students with the bottom 60 grades answered a certain question correctly. Did the students with the top grades do significantly better on this question? Use a = 0.05.
a. Solve using the p-value approach.
b. Solve using the classical approach.
