60% of a random sample of 160 salespeople wanted a self-improvement course.The groups are
assumed to be independent random samples.Let $\pi$ 1 and $\pi$ 2
represent the true proportion of workers
who would like to attend a self-improvement course in the recent study and the past study, respectively.
-Referring to Scenario 10-10, what is/are the critical value(s) when performing a Z test on whether population proportions are different if $\alpha$ = 0.05?

• A)\(\pm\) 1.645
