    Answer: C. 1.942

    Step-by-step explanation:

    This is a test of 2 population proportions. The population proportion of the number of absent employees in plant A and plant B are p1 and p2 respectively.

    From the information given,

    p1 = 0.15

    p2 = 0.12

    n1 = 800

    n2 = 1200

    To determine the z score, we would first determine the pooled proportion.

    The pooled proportion, pc is

    pc = (x1 + x2) / (n1 + n2)

    pc = (120 + 144) / (800 + 1200) = 0.132

    1 - pc = 1 - 0.132 = 0.868

    The formula for z score is

    z = (p1 - p2) / √pc (1 - pc) (1/n1 + 1/n2)

    z = (0.15 - 0.12) / √ (0.132) (0.868) (1/800 + 1/1200) = - 0.03/0.045

    z = 1.942
