Exercise 5.5


  1. Give general expressions for the upper and lower one-sided N % confidence intervals for the differences in errors between two hypotheses tested on different samples of data.
    Hint: Modify the expression given in Section 5.5.

    Upper bound = d_hat +
    z( 100 - ( 2 * ( 100 - N ) ) ) *
    square root [
          error s1 ( h1 ) ( 1 - error s1 ( h1 ) ) / n1 +
          error s2 ( h2 ) ( 1 - error s2 ( h2 ) ) / n2 ]
    Lower bound = d_hat -
    z( 100 - ( 2 * ( 100 - N ) ) ) *
    square root [
          error s1 ( h1 ) ( 1 - error s1 ( h1 ) ) / n1 +
          error s2 ( h2 ) ( 1 - error s2 ( h2 ) ) / n2 ]
