Hey there :)

Before translating the sentence into mathematics, let r represent 'a number'

5 times a number = 5r
2 times that number = 2r

The difference between them = 5r - 2r 

* Your equation 
5r - 2r

* Solving the equation 
= 5r - 2r
= 3r

Researchers are interested if a school breakfast program leads to taller children. Assume that the population of all 5 year-old
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

39-1.96\frac{1}{\sqrt{25}}=38.608    

39+1.96\frac{1}{\sqrt{25}}=39.392    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (38.608;39.392)    

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

\bar X=39 represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

\sigma=1 represent the population standard deviation

n=25 represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

The margin of error is given by:

ME= z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a tabel to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)".And we see that z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

And replacing we got:

ME= 1.96 *\frac{1}{\sqrt{25}}= 0.392

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

39-1.96\frac{1}{\sqrt{25}}=38.608    

39+1.96\frac{1}{\sqrt{25}}=39.392    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (38.608;39.392)
