Pain after surgery: In a random sample of 50 patients undergoing a standard surgical procedure, required medication for postoperative pain. In a random sample of 90 patients undergoing a new procedure, only 16 required pain medication.
- Construct a confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of patients needing pain medication between the old and new procedures.
- A physician claims that the proportion of patients who need pain medication is the same for both procedures. Does the confidence interval contradict this claim?

A therapist wanted to determine if yoga or meditation is better for relieving stress. The therapist recruited 100 of her high-stress patients. Fifty of them were randomly assigned to take weekly yoga classes and the other 50 were assigned weekly meditation classes. After one month, 30 of the 50 patients in the yoga group reported less stress, and 35 of the 50 patients in the meditation group reported less stress. The therapist wants to construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in proportions of patients experiencing stress relief after yoga and after meditation. Are the conditions for inference met?
A) Yes, the conditions for inference are met.
B) No, the 10% condition is not met.
C) No, the randomness condition is not met.
D) No, the Large Counts Condition is not met.
A 90% confidence interval for the difference between

Researchers conducted a study of smartphone use among adults. A cell phone company claimed that iPhone smartphones are more popular with whites (non-Hispanic) than with African Americans. The results of the survey indicate that of the 232 African American cell phone owners randomly sampled, 5% have an iPhone. Of the 1,343 white cell phone owners randomly sampled, 10% own an iPhone. Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference in proportions between white and African American smartphone users.
