Question

Early childhood development studies indicate that the more often a child is read to from birth, the earlier the child begins to read. A local parents' group wants to test this theory and samples families with young children. They find the following results. Construct a 99% confidence interval to estimate the true difference between the proportions of children who read at an early age when they are read to frequently compared to those who were read to less often, as described in the table of results. Let Population 1 be the children who were read to frequently and Population 2 be the children who were read to less often. Round the endpoints of the interval to three decimal places, if necessary. Ages when Children Begin to Read: Read to at Least Three Times per Week: Started Reading by age 4: 47, Started Reading after age 4: 30 Read to Fewer than Three Times per Week: Started Reading by age 4: 30, Started Reading after age 4: 62
