In: Statistics and Probability
In a study of red/green color blindness, 900 men and 2550 women
are randomly selected and tested. Among the men, 80 have red/green
color blindness. Among the women, 6 have red/green color blindness.
Test the claim that men have a higher rate of red/green color
blindness.
The test statistic is
The p-value is
Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that men have a
higher rate of red/green color blindness than women using the 0.01%
significance level?
A. No
B. Yes
2. Construct the 99% confidence interval for the difference between
the color blindness rates of men and women.
<(p1−p2)<
Which of the following is the correct interpretation for your
answer in part 2?
A. We can be 99% confident that the difference
between the rates of red/green color blindness for men and women
lies in the interval
B. We can be 99% confident that that the
difference between the rates of red/green color blindness for men
and women in the sample lies in the interval
C. There is a 99% chance that that the difference
between the rates of red/green color blindness for men and women
lies in the interval
D. None of the above
