Hypothesis:
𝐻0 : 𝑝1 − 𝑝2 ≤ 0
𝐻𝑎 : 𝑝1 − 𝑝2 > 0

Solution:
Ontario: Nation:
272 390
𝑛𝑝 ≥ 5; ( ) (400) ≥ 5; 272 ≥ 5 𝑛𝑝 ≥ 5; ( ) (600) ≥ 5; 390 ≥ 5
400 600
400 − 272 600 − 390
𝑛𝑝 ≥ 5; ( ) (400) ≥ 5; 128 ≥ 5 𝑛𝑝 ≥ 5; ( ) (600) ≥ 5; 210 ≥ 5
400 600

𝜎𝑝̅1 −𝑝̅2 = 0.0304

𝑝̂ = 0.662

𝜎̂𝑝̅1 −𝑝̅2 = 0.0305

272 390
(400 − 600) − 0
𝑧= = 0.9825
0.0305
𝑝(𝑧 > 0.98) = 1 − 𝑝(𝑧 ≤ 0.98) = 0.1635 = ∝

ANSWER: Therefore, the proportion of homeownership in Ontario does not exceed the national
proportion because the alpha obtained is greater than 0.01
