Mushroom compost: An experiment was done to determine whether adding mushroom compost to soil improves plant germination by removing petroleum contamination from soil. Of 150 seeds planted in soil containing 3% mushroom compost by weight, 71 germinated. Of 150 seeds planted in soil containing 5% mushroom compost by weight, 101 germinated. Part: 0 / 2 Part 1 of 2 (a) Construct a 98% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of seeds that germinate. Let p₁ denote the proportion of seeds that germinate with 3% mushroom compost. Round the answers to three decimal places. A 98% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of seeds that germinate is < P₁ P₂ <0. X 3
