A study was conducted to compare the proportion of consumers who like a food product in areas A and B. A sample of 250 consumers was taken from area A and 150 consumers liked the product, while from area B a sample of 300 consumers was taken and 162 consumers liked the product. The hypothesis to be tested is Ho: PA = PB and H1 : PA not equal to PB and the statistical test has been calculated Z = 1.42. For the 0.05 level of significance the conclusion is

A. Accept Ho: PA = PB because Z = 1.42 is less than Z table = 1.96
B. Accept Ho: PA = PB Because Z =1.42 is less than Z table = 1.645
C. Reject PA = PB because Z = 1.42 is less than Z table = 1.96
D. Reject Ho: PA = PB Because Z =1.42 is less than Z table = 1.645
