Question

tion 19 A class of 30 computer science students were taught introductory computer programming class with an innovative teaching method that used a graphical interface and drag-and-drop methods of creating computer programs. At the end of the class, 23 of these students said that they felt confident in their ability to write computer programs. Another class of 40 students were taught the same material using a standard method. At the end of class, 25 of these students said they felt confident. Assume that each class contained a simple random sample of students. A 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of students who felt confident is between and

Explanation / Answer

The statistical software output for this problem is:

Two sample proportion summary confidence interval:
p1 : proportion of successes for population 1
p2 : proportion of successes for population 2
p1 - p2 : Difference in proportions

95% confidence interval results:

Hence,

95% confidence interval will be:

(-0.0714, 0.3548)
