- Many teens have posted profiles on sites such as Facebook. A sample survey asked random samples of teens with online profile if they included false information in their profiles. Of 170 younger teens (ages 12 to 17) polled, 117 said "Yes." Of 317 older teens (ages 15 to 17) polled, 152 said "Yes." A 95% confidence interval for py - Po = the true difference in the proportion of younger teens and older teens who include false information in their profile is 0.12 to 0.297. Does the confidence interval give convincing evidence of a difference in the true proportions of younger and older teens who include false information in their profiles? Explain your answer. O Even though this confidence interval does not include 0, this might not occur again in different samples. There is not enough evidence to make a conclusion regarding the true difference in the proportion of younger teens and older teens who include false information on their profiles. No. We are 95% confident that the interval…arrow_forwardTo estimate the proportion of students who purchase their textbooks used, 500 students were sampled. 210 of these students purchased used textbooks.
