Problem

Researchers suspect that myopia, or nearsightedness, is becoming more common over time. A study from the year 2000 showed 132 cases of myopia in 400 randomly selected people. A separate study from 2015 showed 228 cases in 600 randomly selected people.
The researchers want to use these results to test H0p2015p2000=0 versus Hap2015p2000>0. Assume that all conditions have been met.
What is the P-value associated with these sample results?
