In computing a confidence interval in the interview includes a number zero what does this mean in terms of analyzing if there could be a difference between two population parameters?A confidence interval of estimates are intervals within which the perimeter is expected to fall with a certain degree of confidence.Provide an example.

In computing a confidence interval in the interview includes a number zero what does this mean in terms of analyzing if there could be a difference between two population parameters?A confidence interval of estimates are intervals within which the perimeter is expected to fall with a certain degree of confidence.Provide an example. Find a confidence level for an 82% confidence interval.

Expert Solution
Step 1

In computing a confidence interval in if the interview includes a number zero in it then there could not be a difference between the two population parameters. That is the two population parameters are equal.

Step 2

Example:

Suppose we have group of 100 boys and 70 girls of a class. It is seen that out of 100, 88 boys like playing football and out of 70, 61 girls like playing football. We are interested in testing whether the proportion of boys and girls playing football is same or not.

We wish to test if the,

H0:p1=p2H1:p1p2

From the data we have,

p^1=88100=0.88p^2=6170=0.87n1=100n2=70α = 1-0.82 = 0.18
