Estimating the Difference between Two Population Proportions

Question 9 • CA-Statistics and Probability B

Researchers want to test a new hand exercise plan for arthritis patients to see if they have improved flexibility. They recruited 110 patients with arthritis in their hands and randomly assigned them to one of two treatment groups: group 1 took their regular medicine and did the new hand exercises; and group 2 only took medicine. After one month, 42 of the 55 in group 1 improved in their flexibility, and 37 of the 55 in group 2 improved their flexibility.Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the true difference in proportion pex – pnoex of patients like these who would show improvement in flexibility if they did the new hand exercises along with taking the medicine versus just taking the medicine.
