Bob selects independent random samples from two populations and obtains the values p1 = 0.700 and p2 = 0.500. He constructs the 95% confidence interval for p1 – P2 and gets: 0.200 + 1.96(0.048) = 0.200 ± 0.094. %3D Note that 0.048 is called the estimated standard error of p1 – P2 (the ESE of the estimate). Tom wants to estimate the mean of the success rates: Pi + P2 2 (a) Calculate Tom's point estimate. (b) Given that the estimated standard er- ror of (pi + p2)/2 is 0.024, calculate the 95% confidence interval estimate of (Pi + P2)/2. Hint: The answer has our usual form: Pt. est. +1.96 x ESE of the estimate.
