Answer:

The hypothesis is:

H₀: $p_{X}-p_{Y}=0$ .

Hₐ: $p_{X}-p_{Y}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of men who exercise regularly and Y = number of women who exercise regularly.

The information provided is:

$n_{X}=150\\X=88\\n_{Y}=200\\Y=130$

Compute the sample proportion of men and women who exercise regularly as follows:

$\hat p_{X}=\frac{X}{n_{X}}=\frac{88}{150}=0.587$

$\hat p_{Y}=\frac{Y}{n_{Y}}=\frac{130}{200}=0.65$

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 150 and $\hat p_{X}=0.587$ .

The random variable Y also follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 200 and $\hat p_{Y}=0.65$ .

According to the Central limit theorem, if from an unknown population large samples of sizes n > 30, are selected and the sample proportion for each sample is computed then the sampling distribution of sample proportion follows a Normal distribution.

The mean of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

$\hat p=p$
