Assume two independent random samples are available which provide sample proportions. For the first sample assume n1= 100 and x1= 39. For the second sample, assume n2= 100 and x2= 49. Test the null hypothesis that the population proportions are equal versus the alternative hypothesis that the proportions are not equal at the 90% confidence level. Frame the test statistic by subtracting the proportion for population 1 from that for population 2. Pick an appropriate z value, p-value and conclusion. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.

a) z-value = -1.425 p-value= 0.077 statistically significant

b) z-value = 1.425 p-value= 0.077 not statistically significant

c) z-value = 1.425 p-value= 0.077 statistically significant

d) z-value = -1.425 p-value= 0.1543 not statistically significant
