- A Dean of a certain business school is interested in the difference in proportions of A's given by Professors I & II. Suppose the dean has access to 800 grade reports from each professor. It turns out that 240 students received A's from Professor I and 160 students received A's from Professor II. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true differences in proportions of A's given by the two professors.arrow_forwardA study was conducted in which two types of engine, A and B, were compared. Gas mileage, in miles per gallon, was measured. Forty experiments were conducted using engine type A and 65 experiments were done with engine type B.
