Solving a two-sample z-test for two population proportions is to be performed using the P-value approach.
The null hypothesis is H 0 : P 1 = P 2 and the alternative is H a : P 1 P 2 . Use the given sample data to find the P-value for the hypothesis test. Give an interpretation of the p-value.
n 1 = 200
n 2 = 100
x 1 = 11
x 2 = 8
I got a p-value of 0.4009 but I'm not sure how to interpret this p-value and what it means or if my result is correct.

If there is no difference in the proportions, there is about a 40.1% chance of seeing the observed difference or larger by natural sampling variation
I think this is the right interpretation for the p-value.
