Question
According to a report on sleep deprivation by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the percent of California residents who reported insufficient rest or sleep during each of the preceding 30 days is 7.6%, while this percent is 9% for Oregon residents. These data are based on simple random samples of 11848 California and 4571 Oregon residents.
Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of Californians and Oregonians who are sleep deprived. Round your answers to 4 decimal places. Make sure you are using California as Group A and Oregon as Group B.
