To test: Whether the 5-year survival rate for breast cancer is significantly different between African American those who are younger than 50 years of age and have localized disease. Also provide the p-value. The p-value is approximate 0.0000. Given Information: The data is given as: Calculation: Consider, Caucasian is the sample 1 and African American is the sample 2. So, it is to check if there is difference in the proportion of survival rate for two populations. Thus, the hypotheses become: H 0 : p 1 = p 2 H a : p 1 ≠ p 2 Here, the required values are: p ^ 1 = 0.965 p ^ 2 = 0.916 n 1 = 53060 n 2 = 8063 The sample proportion is found by dividing the percentage by 100. The combined sample proportion is: p ¯ = p ^ 1 × n 1 + p ^ 2 × n 2 n 1 + n 2 = 0.965 53060 + 0.916 8063 53060 + 8063 = 0.959 The test statistic is: z = p ^ 1 − p ^ 2 p ¯ 1 − p ¯ 1 n 1 + 1 n 2 = 0.965 − 0.916 0.959 1 − 0.959 1 56060 + 1 8063 = 20.67 The p-value is calculated as: p − v a l u e = 2 × P Z > z = 2 × P Z > 20.67 = 0.0000 The p-value (0.000) < level of significance (0.05). The null hypothesis is rejected. Conclusion: There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the 5-year survival rate for breast cancer is significantly different between African American those who are younger than 50 years of age and have localized disease.
