A random sample of n 1 = 249 people who live in a city were selected and 87 identified as a democrat. a random sample of n 2 = 1

13 people who live in a rural area were selected and 58 identified as a democrat. find the 98% confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of people that live in a city who identify as a democrat and the proportion of people that live in a rural area who identify as a democrat.

Answer:

CI=\{-0.2941,-0.0337\}

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming conditions are met, the formula for a confidence interval (CI) for the difference between two population proportions is \displaystyle CI=(\hat{p}_1-\hat{p}_2)\pm z^*\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}_1(1-\hat{p}_1)}{n_1}+\frac{\hat{p}_2(1-\hat{p}_2)}{n_2} where \hat{p}_1 and n_1 are the sample proportion and sample size of the first sample, and \hat{p}_2 and n_2 are the sample proportion and sample size of the second sample.

We see that \hat{p}_1=\frac{87}{249}\approx0.3494 and \hat{p}_2=\frac{58}{113}\approx0.5133. We also know that a 98% confidence level corresponds to a critical value of z^*=2.33, so we can plug these values into the formula to get our desired confidence interval:

\displaystyle CI=(\hat{p}_1-\hat{p}_2)\pm z^*\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}_1(1-\hat{p}_1)}{n_1}+\frac{\hat{p}_2(1-\hat{p}_2)}{n_2}}\\\\CI=\biggr(\frac{87}{249}-\frac{58}{113}\biggr)\pm 2.33\sqrt{\frac{\frac{87}{249}(1-\frac{87}{249})}{249}+\frac{\frac{58}{113}(1-\frac{58}{113})}{113}}\\\\CI=\{-0.2941,-0.0337\}

Hence, we are 98% confident that the true difference in the proportion of people that live in a city who identify as a democrat and the proportion of people that live in a rural area who identify as a democrat is contained within the interval {-0.2941,-0.0337}

The 98% confidence interval also suggests that it may be more likely that identified democrats in a rural area have a greater proportion than identified democrats in a city since the differences in the interval are less than 0.

Approximate the change in the volume of a right circular cylinder of fixed radius requals21 cm when its height decreases from he
Tasya [4]
The volume of the cylinder is given by:
 V = pi * r ^ 2 * h
 For h = 12cm:
 V1 = pi * ((21) ^ 2) * (12)
 V1 = 16625.30832 cm ^ 3
 For h = 11.9cm:
 V2 = pi * ((21) ^ 2) * (11.9)
 V2 = 16486.76409 cm ^ 3
 The change in volume is given by:
 V1-V2 = 16625.30832-16486.76409
 V1-V2 = 138.54423 cm ^ 3
 Answer:
 the change in the volume is:
 V1-V2 = 138.54423 cm ^ 3

What is the solution of the following system
AleksAgata [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 14y = 4 ...1

-6x - 7y = -10 ...2

...2 × 2 in 2 sides of the equation

-12x -14y = -20 ...3

...1 + ...3

8x + 14y +(-12x -14y) = 4 +(-20)

8x + 14y - 12x -14y = 4 - 20

-4x = -16

x = (-16)/(-4)

= 4

replace x in ...1 or ...2 you will reserve y value

and answer in the term of (x,y)
