An airport official wants to prove that the p1 = proportion of delayed flights after a storm for Airline A is less than p2 = the proportion of delayed flights for Airline B. Random samples from two airlines after a storm showed that 51 out of 200 of Airline A's flights were delayed, and 60 out of 200 of Airline B's flights were delayed. Report your conclusion in terms of the two airlines.
a. The proportion of delayed flights for Airline A seems to be less than the proportion of delayed flights for Airline B.
b. The results are not statistically significant: there is not enough evidence to conclude that the proportion of delayed flights for Airline A is less than the proportion for Airline B.
c. The difference in proportions of delayed flights is at least 4.
d. The proportion of delayed flights after a storm for Airline A seems to be greater than the proportion of delayed flights after a storm for Airline B.
