Explain your answer.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

It is given that for $95\%$confidence interval for correct difference in proportion of young teens and older teens that have false information in their respective profiles.

03

To Explain the convincing evidence of a difference in the true proportion of younger and older teens of confidence interval
