Question

In Cleveland, a random sample of 73 mail carriers showed that 10 had been bitten by an animal during one week. In Philadelphia, in a random sample of 80 mail carriers, 16 had received animal bites. Find the 95% confidence interval for the difference of the two proportions. 

**Find the value of each statistic.**

**Express as a decimal rounded to four decimal places**

- **Proportion one (Cleveland):**  
  - [Select an answer] = ______  
  - (Calculate using a TI-84)

- **Proportion two (Philadelphia):**  
  - [Select an answer] = ______  
  - (Calculate using a TI-84)

\[ \hat{q}_1 = 1 - \hat{p}_1 = 1 - \_\_\_\_ = \_\_\_\_ \] (Cleveland)

\[ \hat{q}_2 = 1 - \hat{p}_2 = 1 - \_\_\_\_ = \_\_\_\_ \] (Philadelphia)

- **Sample Size One (Cleveland):**  
  - [Select an answer] = ______

- **Sample Size Two (Philadelphia):**  
  - [Select an answer] = ______

**Round answer(s) to two decimal places**

\[ \text{(α / 2)} = [Select an answer] \left( \_\_\_\_, \_\_\_\_, \_\_\_\_ \right) \]

\[ \text{(α / 2)} = \_\_\_\_ \]

**Round answer(s) to two decimal places**
