Let p1 and p2 be the proportion of recoveries
to confirmed cases of Covid-19.
We set Null Hypothesis H0: p1 = p2
Then the
Alternative Hypothesis is H1:: p1 # p2
We have, p = (n1p1+n2p2)/(n1+n2)
and S.E. of (p1-p2) = √(pq)(1/n1+1/n2)
Z
= |p1-p2|/S.E. of (p1-p2)

Z =
2.58 at 1% level of significance. As z(obs) = 276.70, the Null Hypothesis
is rejected
It is concluded that the Recovery rate due to Covid-19 is
significantly higher in Chile than in Mexico.
