In the HRT group, 29.3 percent of 220 women stated that they were at some point in their life a regular smoker. In the non–HRT group, 17.3 percent of 106 women responded positively to being at some point in their life a regular smoker. (Sixty-one women chose not to answer the question.) Construct a 95 percent confidence interval for the difference in smoking percentages for the two populations of women represented by the subjects in the study. What assumptions about the data are necessary?
