3. Interpret calculator display: The following TI-84
Plus calculator display presents a 99% confidence
interval for the difference between two proportions.
a. (1pt) Compute the point estimate of p1 − p2. Round to the
nearest thousandth.
b. (2pt) Fill in the blanks: We are 99% confident that the
difference between the proportions is
between ___________and_____________ . Round values to the nearest
thousandth.
Let P1 hat = 0.8621 and P2 hat = 0.6694
and n1 = 87 , n2 = 124
Point estimate (P1 - P2) = P1 hat - P2 hat = 0.8621 - 0.6694 = 0.1927
We are 99% confident that the difference between the proportions
is
between ___________and_____________
