F too unreliable to be published. Note 1: The confidence interval estimates allow us to test if the difference in low income rates between groups is statistically signficant under the same threshold. For example, under LICO, the 95% confidence interval estimates of low income rates for Newfoundland and Labrador were (11.9, 14.5) and (5.8, 8.3) in 2000 and 2009. Hence under LICO, the low income rate declined for this province between the two years because the intervals do not overlap. On the other hand, the 95% confidence interval estimate of low income rate for PEI residents in 2009 was (3.6, 6.0) under LICO. This was lower than that for Newfoundland and Labrador residents, which is (5.8, 8.3). But the difference is marginally significant because the two intervals overlap each other slightly.
