Please see the attached file.

(a) Calculate the sample proportion of large gloves for each location.

p= proportion of large gloves sold
n=sample size

West
n1= 562
p1= 25.80% =145/562

East
n2= 304
p2= 18.42% =56/305

(b) At alpha (a) = .05, is there a significant difference in the proportion of large gloves sold?

Null Hypothesis: H0: p1=p2
There is no difference between the proportion of large gloves sold
Alternative Hypothesis: H1: p1>p2
Proportion of large gloves sold is greater ...
