Abstract
In Chapters 11 and 12, we discussed estimation and hypothesis testing of the mean, proportion and variance of a single variable in a population. Very often we will be interested in comparing the parameters of two populations, for example: what is the difference between the mean salary of female teachers and male teachers, and is this difference statistically significant; is the difference in the proportion of households with video recorders in the UK and in France significant.
