Answer:

The 2 numbers are 22 and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two numbers be x and x+1

according to the question:

(x+1)^2 - x^2 = 45

x^2+1+2x - x^2 = 45

2x + 1 = 45

2x= 44

x = 22

the other number is x+1 = 22+1 = 23

therefore, the two consecutive numbers are 22 and 23

The National Center for Education Statistics reported that 47% of college students work to pay for tuition and living expenses.

Luden [163]

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of college students who work to pay for tuition and living expenses is: (0.4239, 0.5161).

If we had increased the confidence level, the margin of error also would have increased.

<h3>What is a confidence interval of proportions?</h3>

A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which:

$\pi$ is the sample proportion.

z is the critical value.

n is the sample size.

In this problem, we have a 95% confidence level, hence $\alpha = 0.95$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $\frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975$ , so the critical value is z = 1.96. Increasing the confidence level, z also increases, hence the margin of error also would have increased.
