- 10. Multiple Choice
When conducting a significance test for the difference in proportions, why do we pool the data when finding standard error?
Because we like to swim
Because we assume p1 = p2 in Ho and we want the best estimate of p (biggest sample)
Because the sample sizes are always equal
To be safe and make sure we don't underestimate the standard error
Because the standard errors are equal
