Perform aTwo Sample Hypothesis Test for Proportions. Make sure to report on and label the following steps in your work:

1. Identify the null hypothesis, Ho, and the alternative hypothesis, Ha.
2. Determine whether the hypothesis test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed.
3. Find the critical value(s) and identify the rejection region(s).
4. Find the appropriate standardized test statistic. If convenient, use technology.
5. Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.
6. Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.

In a random sample of 1216 U.S. adults, 954 favor using mandatory testing to assess how well schools are educating students. In another random sample of 1202 U.S. adults taken 9 years ago, 893 favored using mandatory testing to assess how well schools are educating students. At = 0.05, can you support the claim that the proportion of U.S. adults who favor mandatory testing to assess how well schools are educating students is more than it was 9 years ago?
