Two types of phone operating system are being tested to determine
if there is a difference in the proportions of system failures (crashes). Fifteen out of a random sample of 150 phones with had system failures within the first eight hours of operation. Nine out of another random sample of 150 phones with had system failures within the first eight hours of operation. is believed to be more stable (have fewer crashes) than .
