Comparing two proportions/means

Learning objectives

Know how to construct and interpret confidence intervals for the difference between proportions or means of two independent groups.

  • The two-proportion z-interval is appropriate for proportions.
  • The two-sample t-interval is appropriate for means.
  • The Assumptions and Conditions are the same for both, except that for means, we must also assume that the values in each group follow a Normal model.
