They will use this information to test for a difference among the proportion of clear operations using a chi-square test with a level of significance of 0.05.
-Referring to Table 12-5, what is the value of the critical range for the Marascuilo procedure to test for the difference in proportions between procedure A and procedure B using a 0.05 level of significance?
