An investigator wishes to estimate the proportion of Type II diabetic patients who take insulin to manage their diabetes.  A random sample of 270 Type II diabetics was sampled and X of those reported taking insulin to manage their diabetes. An analysis of this information was done in R and the output for the analysis is given below:     1-sample proportions test with continuity correction data:  X out of 270, null probability 0.5 X-squared = 4.537, df = 1, p-value = 0.03317 alternative hypothesis: true p is not equal to 0.5 95 percent confidence interval:  0.505   0.626   What is the sample proportion of those who reported taking insulin to manage their diabetes?

An investigator wishes to estimate the proportion of Type II diabetic patients who take insulin to manage their diabetes.  A random sample of 270 Type II diabetics was sampled and X of those reported taking insulin to manage their diabetes. An analysis of this information was done in R and the output for the analysis is given below:

    1-sample proportions test with continuity correction
data:  X out of 270, null probability 0.5
X-squared = 4.537, df = 1, p-value = 0.03317
alternative hypothesis: true p is not equal to 0.5
95 percent confidence interval:
 0.505   0.626
