Using Confidence Intervals
a. Assume that we want to use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that P1
b. In general, when dealing with inferences for two population proportions, which two of the following are equivalent: confidence interval method; P-value method; critical value method?
c. If we want to use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that P1
d. If we test the claim in part (c) using the sample data in Exercise 1, we get this confidence interval: â0.000508
Because the confidence interval ________ does not contain contains _________ 0, the significance level, the critical value, the pooled sample proportion, there __________ does not appear to be appears to be a significant difference between the two proportions. Because the confidence interval consists __________ only of values greater than of values both less than and greater than only of values less than __________ the significance level, the critical value, the pooled sample proportion, 0, it appears that the first proportion is _________ not significantly different from less than greater than the second proportion. There is _______ insufficient sufficient evidence to support the claim that the rate of polio is less for children given the vaccine than it is for children given a placebo.
