Q1) Assume that 300 students who are fans of the TV show "The Office" are sampled and 231 of them had GPAs higher than 2.5. Then 400 students who dislike that TV show are sampled and 272 of them have GPAs higher than 2.5. Determine the 95% confidence interval for difference between proportions of students having GPAs higher than 2.5.
