At clinic A, 9090 of 150150 randomly chosen patients improved on a treatment; at clinic B, 100100 of 200200 improved. The samples are independent. Find the LOWER end of the 95%95\% confidence interval for pA−pBp_A - p_B, the difference in the clinics' improvement rates, using z∗=1.96z^* = 1.96. Round to three decimal places.
