StatisticsIn order to test the efficacy of a program designed to attract more women to STEM fields in college, 700 female students who completed the program were compared to 1200 female students who did not complete the program. Of the 700 women who completed the program, 125 of them majored in a STEM field in college. Of the 1200 women who did not complete the program, 174 of them majored in a STEM field.
Perform a hypothesis test to see if there is statistically significant evidence that the proportion of women who completed the program is significantly greater than the proportion who did not complete the program. Perform the test at the alpha = 0.05 level.
What is the p-value and conclusion of this test?
p-value = 0.026; Fail to reject the null hypothesis
p-value = 0.026; Reject the null hypothesis
p-value = 0.053; Fail to reject the null hypothesis
p-value = 0.053; Reject the null hypothesis
