Algebra.Com's Answer #238879 by jrfrunner(365) You can put this solution on YOUR website! you can apply the binomial method directly which can be tedious and difficult \n" ); document.write( "or \"if\" the assumptions are met, can apply a normal approximation to the binomial. \n" ); document.write( "--\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The enable the use of the normal approximation, the following need to be met \n" ); document.write( "1. \n" ); document.write( "-- \n" ); document.write( "you provided p1 = 0.48 n1 = 100 p2 = 0.052 n2 =100 \n" ); document.write( "NOTE: not sure if your p2 is correct. Nevertheless, it looks like the requirements above are met. \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "90% confidence interval for difference in the population proportions yields Z=1.645 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Upper confidence interval value: \n" ); document.write( "Lower confidence interval value: \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "confidence interval = \n" ); document.write( "-- \n" ); document.write( "you can do the math \n" ); document.write( " |
