Question

Consider the following results for independent samples taken from two populations

. Sample 1 n₁ = 400 P₁ = 0.49 (Use P₁ - P2.) 0.14 Sample 2 7₂ = 300 P₂ = = 0.35
(a) What is the point estimate of the difference between the two population proportions?

Answer 1

The point estimate of the difference between the two population proportions is 0.14.

Step-by-step explanation:

The point estimate of the difference between the two population proportions can be calculated using the formula P₁ - P₂. In this case, P₁ refers to the proportion in Sample 1 and P₂ refers to the proportion in Sample 2. Given that P₁ = 0.49 and P₂ = 0.35, the point estimate of the difference between the two population proportions is 0.49 - 0.35 = 0.14. Therefore, the point estimate is 0.14.
