The random condition is met since the samples were chosen randomly from the population.
The 10% condition is met since the sample sizes are both less than 10% of their respective populations.
The Large Counts Condition is also met since np > 10 and n(1-p) > 10 for both samples.
Therefore, all conditions for inference are met.
A local school board believes there is a difference in the proportion of households with school-aged children that would support starting the school year a week earlier, and the proportion of households without school-aged children that would support starting the school year a week earlier. They survey a random sample of 40 households with school-aged children about whether they would support starting the school year a week earlier, and 38 households respond yes. They survey a random sample of 45 households that do not have school-aged children, and 35 respond yes. Let ps= the true proportion of households with school-aged children that would support starting the school year a week early and pw= the true proportion of households without school-aged children that would support starting the school year a week earlier. Which of the following is a correct statement about the conditions for this test?
The random condition is not met.
The 10% condition is not met.
The Large Counts Condition is not met.
All conditions for inference are met.
