Researchers conducted a study to find out if there is a difference in the use of ereaders by different age groups. randomly selected participants were divided into two age groupsin the to 29year-old group7% of the 628 surveyed use ereaders, while 11of the 2,309 participants 30 years old and older use ereaders(use subscripts let 1 16- to 29-year-old users , and 230 years old and

Respuesta :

No, there is significant difference in the use of e readers by different age groups.

Given sample 1 ( 29 years old) [tex]n_{1}[/tex]=628, [tex]p_{1}[/tex]=7%, sample 2( 30 years old)[tex]n_{2}[/tex]=2309, [tex]p_{2}[/tex]=0.11.

We have to first form hypothesis one null hypothesis and other alternate hypothesis.

[tex]H_{0}:[/tex]π1-π2=0

[tex]H_{1}:[/tex]π1-π2≠0

α=0.05

Difference between proportions [tex]p_{1}-p_{2} =-0.04[/tex]

[tex]p_{d}=0.07-0.11=-0.04[/tex]

The pooled proportion needed to calculate standard error is:

[tex]p=(X_{1} -X_{2} )/(n_{1} +n_{2} )[/tex]

=(44+254)/(628+2309)

=0.10146

The estimated standard error of difference between means is computed using the formula:

[tex]S_{p_{1} -p_{2} }=\sqrt{p(1-p)/m_{1}+p(1-p)/n_{2} }[/tex]

=[tex]\sqrt{0.101*0.899/628+0.101*0.899/2309}[/tex]

=[tex]\sqrt{0.000143+0.00003}[/tex]

=[tex]\sqrt{0.000173}[/tex]

=0.01315

Z= Pd-(π1-π2)/[tex]S_{p_{1} -p_{2} }[/tex]

=-0.04-0/0.013

=-3.0769

This test is a two tailed test so the p value for this test is calculated as (using z table)

p value:2 P(Z<-3.0769)

=2*0.002092

=0.004189

P value< significance level of 5%.

Hence there is enough evidence to show the claim that there is a significant difference in the use of e readers by different age groups.
