Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to basically do on this one is go backwards.

The beginning equation is 4x+4=12, so to first revesre the adding we are going to use 12, the product, and subtract 4 from it (since that is what was added).

12-4=8

Now you need to reverse the times 4, so to do that just divide instead because that is the invese of multiplication.

8/4=2

Now you have 2, which is the variable, x. To make sure this is right you can just put it into the equation and see if 4x2+4 is 12

Hope this helped!

A survey reported in Time magazine included the question ‘‘Do you favor a federal law requiring a day waiting period to purchase

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the difference between proportions is (-0.260, -0.165).

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

"A survey reported in Time magazine included the question ‘‘Do you favor a federal law requiring a 15 day waiting period to purchase a gun?” Results from a random sample of US citizens showed that 318 of the 520 men who were surveyed supported this proposed law while 379 of the 460 women sampled said ‘‘yes”. Use this information to find a 90% confidence interval for the difference in the two proportions, pm - pw. Subscript pm is the proportion of men who support the proposed law and pw is the proportion of women who support the proposed law. (Round answers to 3 decimal places.)"

We want to calculate the bounds of a 90% confidence interval.

For a 90% CI, the critical value for z is z=1.645.

The sample of men, of size nm=-0.26 has a proportion of pm=0.612.

$p_m=X_m/n_m=318/520=0.612$

The sample 2, of size nw= has a proportion of pw=0.824.

$p_w=X_w/n_w=379/460=0.824$

The difference between proportions is (pm-pw)=-0.212.

$p_d=p_m-p_w=0.612-0.824=-0.212$

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

$p=\dfrac{X_m+X_w}{n_m+n_w}=\dfrac{318+379}{520+460}=\dfrac{697}{980}=0.711$

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

$s_{pm-pw}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_m}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_w}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.711*0.289}{520}+\dfrac{0.711*0.289}{460}}\\\\\\s_{pm-pw}=\sqrt{0.00039+0.00045}=\sqrt{0.001}=0.029$
