7.3-9. Consider the following two groups of women: Group 1 consists of women who spend less than $500 annually on clothes; Group 2 comprises women who spend more than $1000 annually on clothes. Let p₁ and P2 equal the proportions of women in these two groups, respectively, who believe that clothes are too expensive. If 1009 out of a random sample of 1230 women from group 1 and 207 out of a random sample of 340 from group 2 believe that clothes are too expensive, (a) Give a point estimate of p1 - P2. (b) Find an approximate 95% confidence interval for P1-P2.
