Question

This question must be answered in a minimum of 4 sentences: Lifetime asthma diagnosis was measured among 500 children to determine if there were differences by ethnic background. Proportions for non-Hispanic white children and 95% confidence interval was 0.13 (95% CI: 0.09-0.18), whereas the proportion of non-Hispanic black children was 0.16 (95% CI: 0.13-0.20). How do you interpret these confidence intervals for these two sets of patients' lifetime asthma proportions in terms of the mathematical probability and the practical application?

Explanation / Answer

How do you interpret these confidence intervals for these two sets of patients' lifetime asthma proportions in terms of the mathematical probability and the practical application?

we are 95% confidence that the true proportion for non Hispanic white children is between 0.09 and 0.18
