Answer please and thank you.

**Research Study on Laboratory Gloves and Virus Leak Rates**

A newspaper article reported on a study wherein researchers tested laboratory gloves for virus leakage under stress conditions. The study details are as follows:

- **Vinyl Gloves**: Out of 276 gloves tested, 68% showed virus leakage.
- **Latex Gloves**: Out of 276 gloves tested, 15% showed virus leakage.

The objective is to test, at a 0.10 significance level, whether vinyl gloves have a higher virus leak rate compared to latex gloves. For this study, vinyl gloves are considered as population 1.

### Null and Alternative Hypotheses

Participants must choose from the following options:

- **Option A**: \( H_0: p_1 > p_2 \) | \( H_1: p_1 = p_2 \)
- **Option B**: \( H_0: p_1 \neq p_2 \) | \( H_1: p_1 = p_2 \)
- **Option C**: \( H_0: p_1 = p_2 \) | \( H_1: p_1 \neq p_2 \)
- **Option D**: \( H_0: p_1 < p_2 \) | \( H_1: p_1 = p_2 \)
- **Option E**: \( H_0: p_1 = p_2 \) | \( H_1: p_1 < p_2 \)
- **Option F**: \( H_0: p_1 = p_2 \) | \( H_1: p_1 > p_2 \)

### Test Statistic and P-Value Identification

- **Identify the Test Statistic**: Input should be rounded to two decimal places.
- **Identify the P-Value**: Input should be rounded to three decimal places.

### Conclusion of the Test

Fill in the following framework based on the findings:

- The P-value is [Value] the significance level \(\alpha\), so [Decision on Null Hypothesis] the null hypothesis. There is [Strength of Evidence] evidence to support the claim that vinyl gloves have a greater virus leak rate than latex gloves.

This study aims to provide insights into the effectiveness of different glove materials in preventing virus transmission in laboratory settings.

**Technology Results**

- **Pooled proportion**: 0.41
- **Test statistic, z**: 12.6207
- **Critical z**: 1.2816
- **P-value**: 0.0000

**80% Confidence Interval**:
\[ 0.4836782 < p_1 - p_2 < 0.5742929 \]

This section presents the statistical analysis results, including the pooled proportion, test statistic, critical value, and p-value. It also provides an 80% confidence interval for the difference in proportions \( p_1 - p_2 \). A low p-value indicates strong evidence against the null hypothesis.
