Proportion Test - Student Data
Not what you're looking for?
All I need is this one problem completed for me..... Thanks in advance!!
Use the Student_Data.xls file(posted below) to solve the following. For each problem, be sure to state the direction of the test used, the decision to reject the null or not, and the conclusion in English.:
Problem #1:
Given the reasons why people get their Masters, you surmise that men are more likely to declare a major than women. Using the sample of 200 students (in the data file), conduct a hypothesis test of proportions to determine if the proportion of women with "no major" is greater than the proportion of men with "no major". Use a .05 significance level.
NOTE: You can either copy your output into Word and include findings with your output OR you can type your findings directly onto the Excel spreadsheet, but make sure that what you write is easy to find.
