Let p₁ be the proportion of Salmonella in the region's water and p₂ be the proportion of Salmonella in the region's wildlife. The hypotheses are given below:

Null hypothesis:

H鈧�: P₁ 鈥� P₂ = 0

There is no evidence that the prevalence of Salmonella in the region's water differs from the prevalence of Salmonella in the region's wildlife.

Alternative hypothesis: P₁ 鈥� P₂ 鈮� 0

There is evidence that the prevalence of Salmonella in the region's water differs from the prevalence of Salmonella in the wildlife.

calculate the critical value.

Let the confidence position be0.99.

1-伪 = 0.99

伪 = 1-0.99

= 0.01

= 0.005

From Excursus Table II, the value of $z\frac{a}{2}$is given below.

$$\begin{gathered} z_{\frac{a}{2}}=z_{0.005} \\ =2.58 \end{gathered}$$

=2.58

So, the value of $z_{\frac{a}{2}}$is 2.58.

Rejection region:

If Z > $z_{\frac{a}{2}}$(= 2.58), then reject the null hypothesis.

its Z > $z_{\frac{a}{2}}$(= -2.58), then reject the null hypothesis.

Calculate the value of $\stackrel{-}{p_1}$
and$\stackrel{-}{p_2}$

Consider 伪 = 0.10, n₁= 476, $x_1$= 18, and $x_2$= 20.

The value of ${\stackrel{-}{P}}_1$is obtained as shown below.

$$\begin{gathered} {\stackrel{-}{P}}_1=\frac{x_1}{n_1} \\ =\frac{18}{252} \\ =0.0714 \end{gathered}$$

The value of ${\stackrel{-}{P}}_2$is obtained as shown below.

$$\begin{gathered} {\stackrel{-}{P}}_2=\frac{x_2}{n_2} \\ =\frac{20}{252} \\ =0.0420 \end{gathered}$$

The value of $\stackrel{-}{P}$is obtained below.

$$\begin{gathered} \stackrel{-}{P}=\frac{x_1+x_2}{n_1+n_2} \\ =\frac{18+20}{252+476} \\ =0.0522 \end{gathered}$$

Calculate the test statistic (z).

$$\begin{gathered} Z=\frac{{{\displaystyle \stackrel{-}{P}}}_1-{{\displaystyle \stackrel{-}{P}}}_2}{\sqrt{{\displaystyle \stackrel{-}{p}\stackrel{-}{q}}}\left(\frac{1}{n}+\frac{1}{n}\right)} \\ z=\frac{0.0714-0.0420}{0.0522(1-0.06522)\left(\frac{1}{252}+\frac{1}{456}\right)} \\ =\frac{0.0294}{0.0174} \\ =1.69 \end{gathered}$$

The critical value is 2.58, and the value of z is 1.69.

Here, the value of z is lesser than the value of $Z_{\frac{a}{2}}$.

That is, z (= 1.69) < $Z_{\frac{a}{2}}$(=2.58).

So, by the rejection rule, don't reject the null hypothesis (H₀)

Interpretation

Thus, it can be concluded that there is no evidence to reject the null hypothesis (H₀) at 伪 = 0.01.

Hence, there is no evidence that the prevalence of Salmonella in the region's water differs from the prevalence of Salmonella in the region's wildlife.

From the above steps, there is no evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 伪 = 0.01.
