Question
Difference in Two Proportions Problem. In a September 2019 survey of adults in the
U.S., participants were asked if within the last 5 years, they knew of a friend or family
member who died due to inability to pay for medical treatment. Overall, 13.4%
answered yes. The rate for seniors (those 65 and over) is much lower at 6.6% due to
Medicaide and Medicare. We will focus on the difference between the two younger
age groups.
The table below has the breakdown of the data by three Age Groups.

This problem will focus on a Difference of Proportion Problem between those 18 to 44
and those 45 to 64. Use this order, Proportion(18 to 44) - Proportion (45 to 64), in
calculating the difference so it is positive. Answer the following questions.
At first we will focus on the Confidence Interval for the Difference of Two
Proportions. We will construct a 95% Confidence Interval of the difference in
proportions. Do not assume equal variances for this calculation.
What is the Standard Error for the Confidence Interval? Use three decimal places and
use the proper rules of rounding.
