question 74

Short Answer

In an opinion survey, a random sample of 1,000 adults from the United States and 1,000 adults from Germany were asked whether they supported the death penalty. 590 American adults and 560 German adults indicated that they supported the death penalty. The researcher wants to know whether there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of adults who support the death penalty is higher in the United States than in Germany. What is the rejection point (critical value of the test statistic) at α = .10?
