Two brands of refrigerators, denoted A and B, are each guaranteed for 1 year. In a random sample of 50 refrigerators of brand A, 12 were observed to fail before the guarantee period ended. An independent random sample of 60 brand B refrigerators also revealed 12 failures during the guarantee period. Estimate the true difference (p1−p2) between proportions of failures during the guarantee period, with confidence coefficient approximately 0.98. (Round off to three decimals)
