Comparing Two Independent Population Proportions · Exercise 22
Some individuals who were exposed to the COVID-19 virus experienced a loss of taste. In a sample of COVID patients during 2022, there were 629 reported cases of loss of taste out of a total of 1,021 reported cases. In 2021, there were 486 reported cases of loss of taste out of a sample of 712 cases. Is the 2022 proportion of loss of taste more than the 2021 proportion? Using a 1% level of significance, conduct an appropriate hypothesis test.
• “2022” subscript: 2022 group.
• “2021” subscript: 2021 group
This is:
(a) a test of two proportions
(b) a test of two independent means
(c) a test of a single mean
(d) a test of matched pairs.
