Of 268 cases tested in Texas, 5 were found to be drug-resistant. Do these data propose a statistically significant difference between the proportions of drug-resistant cases in the two states? Employ a .02 level of significance. Determine the p-value, and what is your conclusion?
Note: population 1 = NJ and population 2 = Texas
1. Test statistic = ________
2. p-value = ________
