We decide to randomly and independently sample 1000 male and 1000 female students and ask if they voted or not. Which of the following analyses would you recommend we conduct to find out the information we desire? Create a 95% confidence interval for p , Create a 95% confidence interval for ? Create a 95% confidence interval for p,n-pr . Create a 95% confidence interval for I'm-t l like that you are considering two groups, but consider the type of information being collected.

Explanation / Answer

As we are trying to compare the proportions of male and female students who voted in the last presidential election, therefore we compute the confidence interval for the difference in proportions here for males and females. Therefore the confidence interval for pm - pf is required here. ( note that this is difference of proportions and not difference of means )

Therefore C is the correct answer here.
