95% confident that the true proportion of service contracts sold on treadmills versus exercise bikes is between - 0.1969 and 0.02689.

Explanation:

S1 = number of service contracts for sold treadmills

S2 = number of service contracts for sold Exercise Bikes

P1 = 67/185 =.362162

P2 = 55/123 =.447154

P=n1p1 + n2p2 / n1 + N2 = 185*.362 + 123*.447 / 185 + 123 =.3961

Standard Error =.0571

Margin of Error = E = Za/2 * Se = 1.96 *.0571 =.1119

Lower Limit = (P1 - P2) - E = (.362 -.447) -.1119 = -.1969

Upper Limit = (P1 - P2) + E = (.362 -.447_ +.1119 =.02691

Therefore 95% confident that the true proportion of service contracts sold on treadmills versus exercise bikes is between - 0.1969 and 0.02689.
