The estimate of the log-odds ratio, lor hat sub a, is defined as the natural logarithm of the ratio of two quantities. The numerator of the ratio is p 2 sub a, divided by 1 minus p 2 sub a. The denominator of the ratio is p 1 sub a, divided by 1 minus p 1 sub a, where p1 sub a is 0.1493 and p 2 sub a is 0.1881. The estimate lor hat sub a is calculated to be 0.2777.

The variance of the natural logarithm of Theta 1 hat is equal to the square of quantity q. Quantity q is calculated as the difference between U sub 1 and L sub 1 divided by 2 times 1.96. Here, U sub 1 is -1.5610, and L sub 1 is -1.9188. Hence, the variance of the natural logarithm of Theta 1 hat is calculated to be 0.00833. The variance of the natural logarithm of Theta 2 hat is equal to the square of quantity q. Quantity q is calculated the difference between U sub 2 and L sub 2 divided by 2 times 1.96. Here, U sub 2 is -1.3022, and L sub 2 is -1.6222. Hence, the variance of the natural logarithm of Theta 2 hat is calculated to be 0.00667.

Quantity z is the estimate of the log-odds ratio, lor hat sub a, divided by the square root of the sum of the variance of the natural logarithm of Theta 1 hat and the variance of the natural logarithm of Theta 2 hat, where lor hat sub a is 0.2777, the variance of the natural logarithm of Theta 1 hat is 0.00833, and the variance of the natural logarithm of Theta 2 hat is 0.00667. The statistic z is calculated to be 2.268.
