Minnesota had the highest turnout rate of any state for the 2012 Presidential election (United States Election Project website, February 9, 2013). Political analysts wonder if turnout in rural Minnesota was higher than turnout in the urban areas of the state. A sample shows that 663 of 884 registered voters from rural Minnesota voted in the 2012 Presidential election, while 414 out of 575 registered voters from urban Minnesota voted.  At α = .05, test the hypothesis. What is the p-value, and what conclusion do you to draw from your results (to 4 decimals)? Use z-table?
