Questions on a statistics exam are considered good questions provided the questions discriminate between students who have
studied for the exam and those who have not studied. Suppose that on a particular statistics exam the students were separated
into two gnpups, Group 1 that studied and Group 2 that had not studied. Data was collected and a 95% confidence interval for
the difference in the proportion of those passing the exam from Group 1 that studied and the proportion of those passing the
exam from Group 2 that had not studied. The confidence interval turned out to be (0.005, 0.125). Select the best answer.
Let P, = the proportion of Group 1 students that passed the exam
Let Py = the proportion of Group 2 students that passed the exam
The data fails to show with 95% confidence that these questions discriminated between those who studied and those who did
not study.
© We are 95% confident that those who studied had a higher passing rate than those who did not study.
