Of 290 female registered voters surveyed, 119 indicated they were planning to vote for the incumbent president. Of 425 male registered voters, 157 indicated they were planning to vote for the incumbent president. (a) Compute the test statistic. (Use female male. Round your answer to three decimal places.) (b) At a = 0.01, test to see if there is a significant difference between the population proportions of females and males who plan to vote for the incumbent president. (Use the p-value approach.) Calculate the p-value. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) p-value = What is your conclusion? O Do not reject Ho. We can conclude that there is a significant difference between the two poplation proportions. O Do not reject Ho.
