Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the line (m) = (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁)
= (- 7 - 8) ÷ ( 1 - (- 4))
= - 15 ÷ 5
= - 3
We can now use the point-slope form to write the equation for this line:
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) where (x₁ , y₁) = (1, -7)
y - (-7) = -3 ( x - 1)
y + 7 = -3 (x - 1)
Answer:
So, we conclude that the best estimate for the difference in the proportion of smokers is 4.4%.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that 27 of the 193 males in the sample smoke while 16 of the 169 females in the sample smoke.
We have the following proportion:
So we get that 13.9% of men smoke.
We have the following proportion:
So we get that 9.5% of women smoke.
We get: 13.9%-9.5%=4.4%.
So, we conclude that the best estimate for the difference in the proportion of smokers is 4.4%.
