In a random sample of 320 cars driven at low altitude, 40 of them exceeded the standard 10 grams of particulate pollution per gallon of fuel consumed. In another independent random sample of 80 cars driven at high altitude, 20 of them exceeded the standard. Let P 1be the true proportion of cars that exceed the standard in low altitudes and P 2be the true proportion of cars that exceed the standard in high altitudes. What is the test statistic for testing this hypothesis.
