In August 2010, Massachusetts enacted a 150-day right-to-cure period that mandates that lenders give homeowners who fall behind on their mortgage an extra five months to become current before beginning foreclosure proceedings. Policymakers claimed that the policy would result in a higher proportion of delinquent borrowers becoming current on their mortgages. To test this claim, researchers took a sample of 320 homeowners in danger of foreclosure in the time period surrounding the enactment of this law. Of the 140 who fell behind just before the law was enacted, 40 were able to avoid foreclosure, and of 180 who fell behind just after the law was enacted, 54 were able to avoid foreclosure. Let p₁ and p₂ represent the proportion of delinquent borrowers who avoid foreclosure just before and just after the right-to-cure law is enacted, respectively. Which of the following is the appropriate p-value to verify the claim?
