Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the difference between proportions is (-0.260, -0.165).

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

"A survey reported in Time magazine included the question ‘‘Do you favor a federal law requiring a 15 day waiting period to purchase a gun?” Results from a random sample of US citizens showed that 318 of the 520 men who were surveyed supported this proposed law while 379 of the 460 women sampled said ‘‘yes”. Use this information to find a 90% confidence interval for the difference in the two proportions, pm - pw. Subscript pm is the proportion of men who support the proposed law and pw is the proportion of women who support the proposed law. (Round answers to 3 decimal places.)"

We want to calculate the bounds of a 90% confidence interval.

For a 90% CI, the critical value for z is z=1.645.

The sample of men, of size nm=-0.26 has a proportion of pm=0.612.

$p_m=X_m/n_m=318/520=0.612$

The sample 2, of size nw= has a proportion of pw=0.824.

$p_w=X_w/n_w=379/460=0.824$

The difference between proportions is (pm-pw)=-0.212.

$p_d=p_m-p_w=0.612-0.824=-0.212$

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

$p=\dfrac{X_m+X_w}{n_m+n_w}=\dfrac{318+379}{520+460}=\dfrac{697}{980}=0.711$

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

$s_{pm-pw}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_m}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_w}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.711*0.289}{520}+\dfrac{0.711*0.289}{460}}\\\\\\s_{pm-pw}=\sqrt{0.00039+0.00045}=\sqrt{0.001}=0.029$

Then, the margin of error is:

$MOE=z \cdot s_{pm-pw}=1.645\cdot 0.029=0.0477$

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

$LL=(p_1-p_2)-z\cdot s_{p1-p2} = -0.212-0.0477=-0.260\\\\UL=(p_1-p_2)+z\cdot s_{p1-p2}= -0.212+0.0477=-0.165$

The 90% confidence interval for the difference between proportions is (-0.260, -0.165).

Here's a scenario that you can edit to your own advantage. You own a shirt shop. Each shirt sells for 15 dollars, and to make profit annually you need to sell $62,365 worth of shirts. If you've sold 2,000 shirts so far, how many shirts do you need to meet your quota. How many shirts on average per month would you have to sell?

N=1→an=a1 (first term)=16 (on the graph for n=1)→First term = 16
n=2→an=a2 (second term) = 4 (on the graph for n=2)→Second term = 4

ratio=(Second term)/(First term)=a2/a1=4/16
Simplifying the fraction dividing the numerator (4) by 4 and the denominator (16) by 4:
ratio=(4/4)/(16/4)→ratio=1/4

Answer: Option A. First term = 16, ratio = 1/4
