Question 1
Many high school students take the AP tests in different subject areas. In 2007, of the 211,693 students
who took the calculus AB exam 102,598 of them were female and 109,095 of them were male ("AP exam
scores," 2013). Estimate the difference in proportion of female students taking the calculus AB exam
versus male students taking the calculus AB exam using a 90% confidence level.

(v) Let "p1" refer to proportion of children diagnosed with ASD in Pennsylvania. Let "p2"
represent proportion of children diagnosed with ASD in Utah. Determine the confidence interval of
the proportion difference p1 – p2:
Enter lower bound value to nearest ten-thousandth, followed by < , followed by "p1-p2" for proportion
difference or "μ1-μ2" for mean, followed by <, followed by upper bound value to nearest ten-thousandth.
No spaces between any characters. Do not use italics. Examples of correctly entered answers:
0.7754
