Question 17

Multiple Choice

A college alumni fund appeals for donations by phoning or emailing recent graduates. A random sample of 300 alumni shows that 40% of the 150 who were contacted by telephone actually made contributions compared to only 30% of the 150 who received email requests. Which formula calculates the 98% confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of alumni who may make donations if contacted by phone or by email?


A) (0.400.30) +7.33(0.40) (0.60) 300+(0.30) (0.70) 300 (0.40-0.30) +7.33 \sqrt{\frac{(0.40) (0.60) }{300}+\frac{(0.30) (0.70) }{300}}
B) (0.400.30) ±2.33(0.35) (0.65) 300 (0.40-0.30) \pm 2.33 \sqrt{\frac{(0.35) (0.65) }{300}}
C) (0.400.30) ±2.33(0.35) (0.65) 150 (0.40-0.30) \pm 2.33 \sqrt{\frac{(0.35) (0.65) }{150}}
D) 0.400.30) +7.33(0.40) (0.60) 150+(0.30) (0.70) 150 0.40-0.30) +7.33 \sqrt{\frac{(0.40) (0.60) }{150}+\frac{(0.30) (0.70) }{150}}
E) (0.400.30) +2.33(0.35) (0.65) 150+(0.35) (0.65) 150 (0.40-0.30) +2.33 \sqrt{\frac{(0.35) (0.65) }{150}+\frac{(0.35) (0.65) }{150}}
