Suppose as part of a national study of economic competitiveness a marketing research firm randomly sampled 200 adults between the ages of 27 and 35 living in metropolitan Seattle and 180 adults between the ages of 27 and 35 living in metropolitan

Minneapolis. Each adult selected in the sample was asked, among other things, whether they had a college degree. From the Seattle sample 66 adults answered yes and from the Minneapolis sample 63 adults answered yes when asked if they had a college degree. Based on the sample data, can we conclude that there is a difference between the population proportions of adults between the ages of 27 and 35 in the two cities with college degrees? Use a level of significance of 0.10 to conduct the appropriate hypothesis test.A) Since the test statistic, 1.8214, is greater than the critical value of 1.645, reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a higher proportion of Seattle adults that have a college degree
B) Since the test statistic, 2.0112, is greater than the critical value of 1.645, reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a higher proportion of Seattle adults that have a college degree.
C) Since the test statistic, 0.7001, is not greater than the critical value of 1.645, do not reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is not a higher proportion of Seattle adults that have a college degree.
D) Since the test statistic, 0.8921, is not greater than the critical value of 1.645, do not reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is not a higher proportion of Seattle adults that have a college degree.
