Problem 12

A campus survey asked two independent random samples of students whether they participate in a student recycling program and whether they participate in a campus composting program. The recycling sample had nR=400n_{R}=400 with xR=260x_{R}=260 saying yes. The composting sample had nC=350n_{C}=350 with xC=210x_{C}=210 saying yes. At the α=0.05\(\alpha\)=0.05 level, is there evidence the proportions differ? Use a two-sided test.
