Answer:

The answer to your question is 60.7 km

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a ratio and proportion problem, so let's write the proportion.

                                  3  :  26  : :  7  :  x

1.- Convert the expression to a fractional form.

                                  \frac{3}{26} = \frac{7}{x}

2.- Solve the proportion, cross multiplying and back off.

                                 x = \frac{26 x 7}{3}

                                 x = \frac{182}{3}

                                 x = 60.7 km

Ivahew [28]

Answer: (0.066,0.116)

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for proportion is given by :-

p_1-p_2\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{p_1(1-p_1)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p_2(1-p_2)}{n_2}}

Given : The proportion of men have red/green color blindness = p_1=\dfrac{89}{950}\approx0.094

The proportion of women have red/green color blindness = p_2=\dfrac{6}{2050}\approx0.003

Significance level : \alpha=1-0.99=0.01

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.005}=\pm2.576

Now, the 99% confidence interval for the difference between the color blindness rates of men and women will be:-

(0.094-0.003)\pm (2.576)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.094(1-0.094)}{950}+\dfrac{0.003(1-0.003)}{2050}}\approx0.091\pm 0.025\\\\=(0.09-0.025,0.09+0.025)=(0.066,\ 0.116)

Hence, the 99% confidence interval for the difference between the color blindness rates of men and women= (0.066,0.116)
