The firm did a similar study 10 years ago in which 60% of a random sample of 160 salespeople wanted a self-improvement course. The groups are assumed to be independent random samples. Let π₁ and π₂ 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 Table 10-10, what is the value of the test statistic to use in evaluating the alternative hypothesis that there is a difference in the two population proportions?

• A) 4.335
• B) 1.96
