Questions 9-12. A proposition will be voted on in an upcoming election and we are interested in comparing the support in favor of the proposition between two neighboring counties. Suppose we collect responses from random samples in each county about their voting intentions. In county A, 66 of 120 voters respond they will vote in favor of the proposition. In county B, 105 of 175 voters respond they will vote in favor of the proposition. 9. (5 points) What is the point estimate for the proportion of voters that will vote in favor of the proposition in county A? (Numerical Response) 10. (3 points) What is the appropriate statistical test to determine whether these data provide evidence for a difference in voting intentions between the counties? a. One-sample t-test b. Two-sample t-test c. Paired t-test d. One-sample proportion test e. Two-sample proportion test 11. (5 points) Compute the test statistic for the hypothesis test. (Numerical Response) 12. (3 points) State the decision of the hypothesis test at a = 5%. a. Reject Ho at a = 5%. b. Fail to reject Ho at a = 5%
