Using the z-distribution, the 90% confidence interval for the difference of proportions is given by: (-0.0534, 0.0434).

<h3>What is the mean and the standard error for the distribution of differences?</h3>

For each sample, the mean and the standard error are given as follows:

  • p_1 = \frac{30}{235} = 0.1277, s_1 = \sqrt{\frac{0.1277(0.8723)}{235}} = 0.0218.
  • p_2 = \frac{39}{294} = 0.1327, s_1 = \sqrt{\frac{0.1327(0.8673)}{294}} = 0.0198.

For the distribution of differences, they are given by:

  • \overline{p} = p_1 - p_2 = 0.1277 - 0.1327 = -0.005.
  • s = \sqrt{s_1^2 + s_2^2} = \sqrt{0.0218^2 + 0.0198^2} = 0.0294

<h3>What is the confidence interval?</h3>

The interval is given by:

\overline{p} \pm zs

In this problem, we have a 90% confidence level, hence\alpha = 0.9, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of \frac{1+0.9}{2} = 0.95, so the critical value is z = 1.645.

Hence the bounds of the interval are:

\overline{p} - zs = -0.005 - 1.645(0.0294) = -0.0534

\overline{p} + zs = -0.005 + 1.645(0.0294) = 0.0434

How dose the graph of g(x)=x+5 compare with the graph of the parent function f(x)=x?
DENIUS [597]

The graph of f(x) is shifted up by 5 units to get g(x)

<h3>How to compare the functions?</h3>

The functions are given as:

g(x) = x + 5

f(x) = x

Substitute f(x) = x in g(x) = x + 5

So, we have:

g(x) = f(x) + 5

The above means that the graph of f(x) is shifted up by 5 units to get g(x)

How to solve 0.5x +78.2 =287
Inessa [10]
You can subtract 78.2 from 287 to get the x value alone. Your new expression will look like this:
.5x=208.8
Next you divide by .5 (or multiply the reciprocal 1/.5 depending on how you were taught)
x=417.6

Hope that helps!!
