A researcher would like to test the claim that the proportion of middle-aged smokers with a lung capacity under 3 liters is less than the proportion of senior citizen nonsmokers with a lung capacity under 3 liters. A random sample of 46 middle-aged smokers had 32 with lung capacities under 3 liters, and a random sample of 46 senior citizen nonsmokers had 25 with lung capacities under 3 liters. These two independent samples will be used in a hypothesis test of this claim. Which test statistic formula should be used for this test?
