From the Seattle sample 66adults answered yes and from the Minneapolis sample 63 adultsanswered yes when asked if they had a college degree. Based on thesample data, can we conclude that there is a difference between thepopulation proportions of adults between the ages of 27 and 35 inthe two cities with college degrees? Use a level of significance of0.10 to conduct the appropriate hypothesis test.

Group of answer choices

A Since the test statistic, 1.8214, is greater than the criticalvalue of 1.645, reject the null hypothesis and conclude that thereis a higher proportion of Seattle adults that have a collegedegree

B Since the test statistic, 2.0112, is greater than the criticalvalue of 1.645, reject the null hypothesis and conclude that thereis a higher proportion of Seattle adults that have a collegedegree.

C Since the test statistic, 0.8921, is not greater than thecritical value of 1.645, do not reject the null hypothesis andconclude that there is not a higher proportion of Seattle adultsthat have a college degree.

D Since the test statistic, -0.411, is not greater than thecritical value of 1.645, do not reject the null hypothesis andconclude that there is not a higher proportion of Seattle adultsthat have a college degree.
