Question

In a certain survey, a question asked is whether a respondent favors or opposes capital punishment (the death penalty) for persons convicted of murder. The output for this exercise compares the proportions who said that they were opposed to the death penalty in the year 2000 and the year 1993. (Let

p1

be the proportion in the year 2000 and

p2

be the proportion in the year 1993.)

Sample X N Sample p
2000 711 2765 0.257
1993 337 1488 0.226

Estimate for
p(1) − p(2): 0.031
 
(a) Find the value of s.e.(p̂1 − p̂2) = standard error of the difference between the two sample proportions. (Round the answer to four decimal places.)
s.e.(p̂1 − p̂2) =
