Question

Smart Driver Driving School has many branches across provinces. In a province different from the one in problem 1, the teaching committee at the provincial branch randomly assigned half of their 5000 students enrolled this year to receive the conventional teaching method and the remaining half to receive the new teaching method. In a random sample of 100 students who received the conventional teaching method, 77 passed the road test. In another random sample of 100 students who received the new teaching method, 83 passed the road test. The committee would like to use the sample data to test if the two teaching methods have different passing rates. Let pC and pN be the true passing rates of the conventional and the new teaching methods, respectively.

Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the true passing rates (expressed as proportions) between the conventional and new teaching methods: 95% confidence interval: ( ,) [Your two numbers must be rounded to 3 decimal places. Keep at least 6 significant figures in intermediate steps.]
