Caluclate the estimated st<strong>and</strong>ard error:Using this pooled sample proportion, the estimated st<strong>and</strong>ard errorbecomes:√ ( 1+ 1 )n 1 n 2p ∗ (1 − p ∗ )=√ (731 − 73 ( 197 97)25 + 1 )72= 0.100172Calculate the test statistic:Test statistic ==observed sample value - null valueestimated st<strong>and</strong>ard error( 1625− 5772)− 00.100172= −0.151670.100172= −1.514 (3dp)Find the p-value:P r(Z < −1.514) = 0.065 (3dp) Use pnorm(-1.514).Make the conclusion:Large amount <strong>of</strong> support for H 0 (p-value is greater than 0.05). Theobservation is not a rare event. Retain H 0 . There is no evidence thatthere is any difference in effectiveness between the two coaches.128
