Question:
Refer to Exercise 9.37. Contact lenses, worn by about 26 million Americans, come in many styles and colors. Most Americans wear soft lenses, with the most popular colors being the blue varieties (25%), followed by greens (24%), and then hazel or brown. A random sample of 80 tinted contact lens wearers was checked for the color of their lenses. Of these people, 22 wore blue lenses and only 15 wore green lenses.9
a. Do the sample data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that the proportion of tinted contact lens wearers who wear blue lenses is different from 25%? Use α = .05.
b. Do the sample data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that the proportion of tinted contact lens wearers who wear green lenses is different from 24%? Use α = .05.
c. Is there any reason to conduct a one-tailed test for either part a or b? Explain.
