Example 4.4.7. One week before the election a new public poll is taken.In the two weeks between the polls, Candidate B increases his support amonglikely voters. The results of the new poll are 581 in favor of Candidate A, and769 in favor of Candidate B. Is the difference now statistically significant?CHAPTER 4. STATISTICS154The sample size is n = 1350, and the poll presents only two options, sothere is a common standard error.581For Candidate A, we have k = 581, so2 0.4303 or 43.03%. For1350769Candidate B, we have k = 769, so p =2 0.5696 or 56.96%.13500.4304 × (1 – 0.4304)The standard error is st.err. ~- 0.0135 or13501.35%.The confidence interval for Candidate A goes from 43.03 – 2 x 1.35 to43.03 + 2 x 1.35, that is from 40.33% to 45.73%.The confidence interval for Candidate B goes from 56.96 – 2 × 1.35 to56.96 + 2 x 1.35, that is from 54.26% to 59.66%.As we can see below, the confidence interval for Candidate B is com-pletely to the right of the interval for Candidate A.

A study was done to determine whether there is a relationship between snoring and the risk of heart disease. Among 1,105 snorers in the study, 89 had heart disease, while only 29 of 1,379 nonsnorers had heart disease. Determine a 95% confidence interval that estimates p1 − p2 = difference in proportions of snorers and nonsnorers who have heart disease. (Let p1 be the proportion of snorers and p2 be the proportion of nonsnorers. Round your answers to three decimal places.) ____to ____
A random sample of n1 = 148 people ages 16 to 19 were taken from the island of Oahu, Hawaii, and 14 were found to be high school dropouts. Another random sample of n2 = 125 people ages 16 to 19 were taken from Sweetwater County, Wyoming, and 5 were found to be high school dropouts. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of high school dropouts on Oahu is different (either way) from that of Sweetwater County? Use a 1% level of significance.

A random sample of n1 = 157 people ages 16 to 19 were taken from the island of Oahu, Hawaii, and 12 were found to be high school dropouts. Another random sample of n2 = 129 people ages 16 to 19 were taken from Sweetwater County, Wyoming, and 6 were found to be high school dropouts. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of high school dropouts on Oahu is different (either way) from that of Sweetwater County? Use a 1% level of significance. (a) What is the level of significance? What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Test the difference p1 − p2. Do not use rounded values. Round your final answer to two decimal places.) (c) Find (or estimate) the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
