    This chapter discusses confidence intervals for means, proportions, and the difference between means and proportions. It provides formulas and examples for computing confidence intervals with various confidence levels such as 95% and 99%. It also includes tables of common z-score values and homework problems involving calculating confidence intervals using sample data. Confidence intervals allow us to estimate an unknown population parameter with a certain degree of confidence based on sample statistics.

    9.44 A taxi company is trying to decide whether to purchase brand "A" or brand "B" tires for its fleet of taxis
    (‫)اسطول من سيارات التكسي‬. The experiment is conducted using 12 of each brand and the tires are run until they
    wear out.

    I) Compute a 99% confidence interval for μA – μB, assuming the populations to be approximately
    normally. You may not assume that the variances are equal.

    II) Find a 99% confidence interval for μA – μB if tires of the two brands are assigned at random to the
    left and right rear wheels of 8 taxis and the following distances, in kilometers, are recorded:

    Taxi Brand A Brand B


    1 34,400 36,700
    2 45,500 46,800
    3 36,700 37,700
    4 32,000 31,100
    5 48,400 47,800
    6 32,800 36,400
    7 38,100 38,900
    8 30,100 31,500

    Assume that the differences of the distances are approximately normally distributed.

    Q. A survey of 500 students from a college of science shows that 275 students own computers. In another
    independent survey of 400 students from a college of engineering shows that 240 students own computers.

    (a) a 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of college of science's student who own computers is
    ( 𝟎. 𝟒𝟗𝟐𝟕, 𝟎. 𝟔𝟎𝟕𝟑)

    (b) a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of students owning computers in the
    two colleges is ( −𝟎. 𝟏𝟏𝟒𝟖, 𝟎. 𝟎𝟏𝟒𝟖)
