Use the sample data given in the table below, to construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the
two population proportions. The confidence level of 90% is comparable to the
significance level of a = 0.05 used in a two tailed hypothesis test. What
does the result suggest about the effectiveness of a safety belt in an
accident?

Answer

-0.0038    < 
(p2 - p1)   < -0.0016

The confidence interval limits do not
contain 0, implying that there is a significant difference between the two
proportions. The confidence interval suggests that the fatality rate is lower
for occupants in cars with used safety belt than for occupants in cars without
the use of it.

Answer

-0.004    < 
(p1 - p2)   < -0.008

The confidence interval limits do not
contain 0, implying that there is a significant difference between the two
proportions. The confidence interval suggests that the fatality rate is lower
for occupants in cars without the use of safety belt than for occupants in cars with the use of it.

Answer

-0.0038    < 
(p1 - p2)   < 0.0016  The confidence interval limits contain 0, implying that there is a significant difference between the two
proportions. The confidence interval suggests that the fatality rate is lower
for occupants in cars with used safety belt than for occupants in cars without
the use of it.

Answer

P-value = 1.9E-2 thus H(alternative) is accepted

Answer

-0.00138    < 
(p1 - p2)   < -0.00116

The confidence interval limits do not
contain 0, implying that there is a significant difference between the two
proportions. The confidence interval suggests that the fatality rate is lower
for occupants in cars with used safety belt than for occupants in cars without
the use of it.

Answer

-0.003    < 
(p1 - p2)   < -0.001

The confidence interval limits do not
contain 0, implying that there is a significant difference between the two
proportions. The confidence interval suggests that the fatality rate is lower
for occupants in cars with used safety belt than for occupants in cars without
the use of it.

Answer

0.0038    < 
(p1 - p2)   < 0.006

The confidence interval limits do not
contain 0, implying that there is a significant difference between the two
proportions. The confidence interval suggests that the fatality rate is lower
for occupants in cars with used safety belt than for occupants in cars without
the use of it.

Answer

P-value = 1.5579E+2 thus H(alternative) is accepted

Answer

-0.0005    < 
(p1 - p2)   < -0.001

The confidence interval limits do not
contain 0, implying that there is a significant difference between the two
proportions. The confidence interval suggests that the fatality rate is lower
for occupants in cars with used safety belt than for occupants in cars without
the use of it.

Answer

-0.0038    < 
(p1 - p2)   < -0.0016

The confidence interval limits do not
contain 0, implying that there is a significant difference between the two
proportions. The confidence interval suggests that the fatality rate is lower
for occupants in cars with used safety belt than for occupants in cars without
the use of it.
