x1=30,n1=80,x2=15,n2=20;95%confidence interval

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The needed confldence interval for the proportional difference between the two populations is

-0.707to -0.293.

(b) The needed confidence interval for the difference between the two-population proportion is -0.707to -0.293. The results are in line with the stated exercise outcomes, which have a 95%confidence level.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

Given in the question that,x1=30,n1=80,x2=15,n2=20

we need to use the two-proportions plus-four z-interval procedure to find the required confidence interval for the difference between the no population proportions.

02

Part (a)  Step 2: Explanation

The formula for p~1is given by,

p~1=x1+1n1+2

substitute the values of x1,n1

p~1=x1+1n1+2

=30+180+2

=0.23

The formula forp~2is given by,

p~2=x2+1n2+2

Substitute the values ofx2,n2

p~2=x2+1n2+2

=15+120+2

=0.73

Calculate the value of α,

95=100(1-α)

α=0.05

The value of z at α/2 from the z-score table is 1.96.

03

Part(a) Step 3: Required confidence interval 

For the difference between the two-population proportion, the needed confidence interval is determined as,

p~1-p~2±zα/2·p~11-p~1n1+2+p~21-p~2n2+2=(0.23-0.73)±1.96

.0.23(1-0.23)80+2+0.73(1-0.73)20+2

=-0.5±0.270

=-0.707to -0.293

As a result, the needed confidence interval for the proportional difference between the two populations is

-0.707to-0.293.

04

Part (b) Step 1: Given information

Given in the question that x1=30,n1=80,x2=15,n2=20

we need to compare result with the corresponding confidence interval found in parts of Exercises 11.100-11.105.

05

Part(b) Step 2: Explanation

The formula for p~1is given by,

p~1=x1+1n1+2

The formula for p~2is given by,

p~2=x2+1n2+2

Using the two-proportions plus-four z-interval technique, the needed confidence interval for the difference between the two-population proportion is -0.707 to-0.293. The results are in line with the stated exercise outcomes, which have a 95% confidence level.
