In a simple random sample of 120 women and 150 men from a population of 150,000, 25% of the women and 37% of the men are smokers. Suppose you are interested in comparing the proportion of smokers by sex, do we accept or reject the null hypothesis of assuming the smoking proportions of women and men are the same with alpha .05?
What will be an ideal response?
Since the p value is less than .05, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a significant difference in the proportion of smokers among women and men.
