EXAMPLE 9.1
Who uses Instagram? In Example 8.11 (page 507), we compared the proportions of young women and men who use Instagram. The following table summarizes the data used in this comparison:
Population | n | X | = X/n |
1 (women) | 537 | 328 | 0.6108 |
2 (men) | 532 | 234 | 0.4398 |
Total | 1069 | 562 | 0.5257 |
These data suggest that the percent of women who use Instagram is 17.1% larger than the percent for men, with a 95% margin of error of 5.9%.
