Suppose a random sample of 90 companies taken in 2006 showed that 14 offered high-deductible health insurance plans to their workers. a separate random sample of 120 firms taken in 2007 showed that 30 offered high-deductible health insurance plans to their workers. based on the sample results, can you conclude that there is a higher proportion of companies offering high-deductible health insurance plans to their workers in 2007 than in 2006? conduct your hypothesis test at a level of significance alphaequals0.01.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a random sample of 90 companies taken in 2006 showed that 14 offered high-deductible health insurance plans to their workers. A separate random sample of 120 firms taken in 2007 showed that 30 offered high-deductible health insurance plans to their workers.

Significance levelP = 0.0153

Since p >0.01, our alpha reject null hypothesis.

NO. Based on the sample results, you can not  conclude that there is a higher proportion of companies offering high-deductible health insurance plans to their workers in 2007 than in 2006
