Question:

In a survey of 10,000 students taking the SAT, 7% were undecided on an intended college major. In another survey of 8000 students taken 10 years before, 3% were undecided on an intended college major. Construct a 90% confidence interval for p1 - p2, where p1 is the proportion from the recent survey and p2 is the proportion from the survey taken 10 years ago.


You can construct a confidence interval for the difference between two population proportions p1 - p2 by using the inequality below.

(Pi – P2) < Pi – P2 < (pi – P2) + za П1 П2 П2

Construct the indicated confidence interval for p1 - p2. Assume the samples are random and independent.
