5. Two brands of coffee were compared. Two independent random samples of 50 people each were asked to taste either Brand A or Brand B coffee, and indicate whether they liked it or not. Eighty four percent of the people who tasted Brand A liked it; the analogous sample proportion for Brand B was ninety percent.
(A) [8] At α = 0.01, is there a significant difference in the proportions of individuals who like the two coffees? Use the p-value approach.
(B) [1] What is the critical value(s) for the test in Part(A)?
(C) [2] Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of people who like Brand A and Brand B coffees.
(D) [2] Do we use the same estimate of the standard deviation of ˆp1 − pˆ2 in parts (A) and (C)? Explain.
