question

A school board of a large school district is proposing a new dress code for students. Some students feel that this dress code unfairly targets female students. To see if there is a difference between boys and girls in their opposition to the new dress code, they conduct a poll of 60 randomly selected male and 70 randomly selected female high school students in the district. They find that 66 females oppose the dress code and 50 males oppose the dress code. Which of the following explains why a two-proportion z-test is not appropriate?

choices

  1. The sample sizes are different.
  2. The sample sizes are too large.
  3. The number of successes and the number of failures for the two groups are not all large enough.
  4. The shapes of the population distributions are not known.
