Two random samples are taken, one from among first-year students and the other from among fourth-year students at a public university. Both samples are asked if they favor modifying the student Honor Code. A summary of the sample sizes and number of each group answering yes'' are given below:

First-Years (Pop. 1):𝑛1=91,𝑥1=55 Fourth-Years (Pop. 2):,𝑛2=100,𝑥2=62

Is there evidence, at an 𝛼=0.06 level of significance, to conclude that there is a difference in proportions between first-years and fourth-years? Carry out an appropriate hypothesis test, filling in the information requested.
A. The value of the standardized test statistic:
B. The rejection region for the standardized test statistic:
C. The p-value is:
