A researcher studied iron-deficiency anemia in women in each of two developing countries. Differences in the dietary habits between the two countries led the researcher to believe that anemia is less prevalent among women in the first country than among women in the second country. A random sample of 2400 women from the first country yielded 401 women with anemia, and an independently chosen, random sample of 1800 women from the second country yielded 362 women with anemia. Based on the study can we conclude, at the 0.10 level of significance, that the proportion p₁ of women with anemia in the first country is less than the proportion P₂ of women with anemia in the second country? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.
(a) State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H₁.
(b) Determine the type of test statistic to use.
(c) Find the value of the test statistic. (Round to three or more decimal places.)
(d) Find the critical value at the 0.01 level of significance. (Round to three or more decimal places.)
