Great Britain has a great literary tradition that spans centuries. One might assume, then, that Britons read more than citizens of other countries. Some Canadians, however, feel that a higher percentage of Canadians than Britons read. A recent Gallup Poll reported that 86% of 1004 randomly sampled Canadians read at least one book in the past year, compared to 81% of 1009 randomly sampled Britons. Do these results confirm a higher reading rate in Canada? 1. Test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusions. 2. Find a 95% confideace interval for the difference in the proportion of Britons and Canadians who read at least one book in the last year. Interpret your interval.
