Testing a Claim about a Difference between Proportions

Question 167094 of 13 • AQR_A_IC

An analyst in the department of research and development is trying to better understand what factors cause a printer to jam when completing 2-sided printing. He has 80 printers that he randomly allocates evenly to 2 treatments: regular paper and cardstock paper. He sends a 20-page 2-sided document to each printer and finds that 5 of the 40 printers using regular paper jam and 15 of the 40 printers using cardstock paper jam. Do these data provide convincing evidence that the proportion of printers that would jam while printing 2-sided on regular paper is less than the proportion that would jam while printing 2-sided on cardstock? Use .

Answer
H0: versus Ha: where pR = the of all printers that jam while printing 2-sided on regular paper and pC = the of all printers that jam while printing 2-sided on cardstock paper.:

equals zero

H0: versus Ha: where pR = the of all printers that jam while printing 2-sided on regular paper and pC = the of all printers that jam while printing 2-sided on cardstock paper.:

is less than zero

H0: versus Ha: where pR = the of all printers that jam while printing 2-sided on regular paper and pC = the of all printers that jam while printing 2-sided on cardstock paper.:

proportion

H0: versus Ha: where pR = the of all printers that jam while printing 2-sided on regular paper and pC = the of all printers that jam while printing 2-sided on cardstock paper.:
