Results The results are:
Two-Proportion Z-Test
Menu name Z-Test: 

On the basis of statistics from two samples, each from a
different population, this test measures the strength of the
evidence for a selected hypothesis against the null
hypothesis. The null hypothesis is that the proportions of
successes in the two populations are equal, 
0
: 
1
= 

.
You select one of the following alternative hypotheses
against which to test the null hypothesis:
H
