Question
On the Navajo Reservation, a random sample of 220 permanent dwellings in the Fort Defiance region showed that 66 were traditional Navajo hogans. In the Indian Wells region, a random sample of 153 permanent dwellings showed that 18 were traditional hogans. Let p1 be the population proportion of all traditional hogans in the Fort Defiance region, and let p2 be the population proportion of all traditional hogans in the Indian Wells region.
(a) Find a 90% confidence interval for p1 – p2. (Use 3 decimal places.)
