Answer

$n_1=201,229$ $n_2=200,745$ $\hat{p_1}=.999836$ $\hat{p_2}=.999427$ $\bar{p}=.999632$ $\bar{q}=.000368$

Work Step by Step

We know that n is the sample size, so we find that $n_1=201,229$ and $n_2=200,745$. We know that $\hat{p} $ is equal to the number of successes divided by the sample size. Thus: $\hat{p_1}=\frac{201,229-33}{201,229}=.999836$ $\hat{p_2}=\frac{200,745-115}{200,745}=.999427$ We know that $\bar{p}$ is equal to $\frac{x_1+x_2}{n_1+n_2}$. Thus: $\bar{p}=\frac{401,974-115-33}{401,974}=.999632$ We know that: $\bar{q}=1-\bar{p}=.000368$
