Cancer prevention: Colonoscopy is a medical procedure that is designed to find and remove precancerous lesions in the colon before they become cancerous. In a sample of 51,902 people without colorectal cancer, 6015 had previously had a colonoscopy, and in a sample of 9186 people diagnosed with colorectal cancer, 964 had previously had a colonoscopy. (b) Does the confidence interval contradict the claim that the proportion of people who had colonoscopies is the same among those with colorectal cancer and those without? Because the confidence interval contains or does not contain 0, it contradicts or does not contradict the claim that the proportion of people who had colonoscopies is the same among those with colorectal cancer and those without.
