Answer:
The point estimate is 0.342.
Step-by-step explanation:
Among these children, 145 out of 304 became ill after eating burritos served by their school's cafeteria.
This means that:
[tex]p_B = \frac{145}{304} = 0.477[/tex]
On the other hand, only 20 of the remaining 148 who did not eat burritos became ill.
This means that:
[tex]p_{NB} = \frac{20}{148} = 0.135[/tex]
a). (3 points) Using this data, give a point estimate for the true difference in the proportion of those that ate the burrito and those that did not eat the burrito who developed a gastrointestinal illness.
The point estimate is the subtraction of the sample proportions. So
[tex]p = p_N - p_{NB} = 0.477 - 0.135 = 0.342[/tex]
The point estimate for the true difference in the proportion of those that ate the burrito and those that did not eat the burrito who developed a gastrointestinal illness is 0.342.
