Module 9: Inference for Two Proportions

Module 9: Inference for Two Proportions Introduction to Hypothesis Test for Difference in Two Population Proportions Introduction to Hypothesis Test for Difference in Two Population Proportions What you’ll learn to do: Construct and interpret an appropriate hypothesis test to compare two population/treatment group proportions. In this section we will learn to conduct a hypothesis test for comparing two population proportions or two treatments, under the appropriate conditions, and state a conclusion in context. We can use this to analyze real world examples such as insurance coverage as well as teen depression rates. We will also interpret the P-value as a conditional probability. Then we will then identify type I and type II errors and select an appropriate significance level based on an analysis of the consequences of each type of error. - Concepts in Statistics.
