You are using independent samples of size 100 to test whether two population proportions are equal, with $\pi$₁ = $\pi$₂ as the null hypothesis.In this test, it would be appropriate to use the pooled sample proportion in an estimate of the standard error for your test.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When testing for the equality of two population proportions with independent samples, it is appropriate to use the pooled sample proportion to estimate the standard error if the null hypothesis assumes the proportions are equal. This provides a more accurate estimate of the standard error under the null hypothesis.
