| 2 | 74 | 75 |
| 3 | 71 | 78 |
| 4 | 69 | 70 |
| 5 | 73 | 76 |
| 6 | 70 | 74 |
| 7 | 72 | 77 |
| 8 | 75 | 79 |

(ii) General procedure of Testing of hypothesis
A survey was conducted to study the preference for online learning among students from urban and rural areas. Out of 300 urban students, 210 preferred online learning, while out of 250 rural students, 150 preferred online learning. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the population proportions of students preferring online learning in urban and rural areas.
