Proportion of men and women responding


In the survey of families in which both parents work, one of the questions asked was, "Have you refused the job, promotion, or transfer because it would mean less time with your family?" A total of 200 men and 200 women were asked this question. "Yes" was response given by 28% of men and 29% of women. Based upon this survey, can we conclude that there is difference in the proportion of men and women responding "yes" at the 0.05 level of significance? (Use Men - Women.)

(a) Find z. (Give your answer correct to two decimal places.)

(ii) Find the p-value. (Give your answer correct to four decimal places.)

(b) State the appropriate conclusion.
