A criminal justice researcher is interested in determining if out-of-state motorists tend to speed more frequently than in-state motorists. After taking a sample of traffic stop data, she recorded whether the vehicle was registered in the state or not and whether or not the driver received a speeding ticket. The data are given in the table below. Calculate the lower bound of a 90% confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of in- and out-of-state drivers who received speeding tickets. Take all calculations to three decimal places.
Received Ticket | Did Not Receive Ticket | |
In State | 94 | 207 |
Out of State | 136 | 296 |
n1 = 94+207 = 301
n2 = 136+296 = 432
Ans : -0.060
