Answer:

(0.1875-0.274) - 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.1875(1-0.1875)}{400} +\frac{0.274(1-0.274)}{500}}=-0.1412  

(0.1875-0.274) + 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.1875(1-0.1875)}{400} +\frac{0.274(1-0.274)}{500}}=-0.0318  

And the upper limit would be -0.0318

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete question :A study was recently conducted at a major university to estimate the difference in the proportion of business school graduates who go on to graduate school within five years after graduation and the proportion of non-business school graduates who attend graduate school. A random sample of 400 business school graduates showed that 75 had gone to graduate school while in a random sample of 500 non-business graduates, 137 had gone on to graduate school. Based on a 95 percent confidence level, what is the upper limit of the confidence interval estimate?

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".  

p_A represent the real population proportion for graduate school  

\hat p_A =\frac{75}{400}=0.1875 represent the estimated proportion for graduate school

n_A=400 is the sample size required for graduate school

p_B represent the real population proportion for non graduate school

\hat p_B =\frac{137}{500}=0.274 represent the estimated proportion for non graduate school

n_B=500 is the sample size required for non graduate school

z represent the critical value for the margin of error  

Solution to the problem

The population proportion have the following distribution  

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})  

The confidence interval for the difference of two proportions would be given by this formula  

(\hat p_A -\hat p_B) \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p_A(1-\hat p_A)}{n_A} +\frac{\hat p_B (1-\hat p_B)}{n_B}}  

For the 95% confidence interval the value of \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2=0.025, with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.  

z_{\alpha/2}=1.96  

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:  

(0.1875-0.274) - 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.1875(1-0.1875)}{400} +\frac{0.274(1-0.274)}{500}}=-0.1412  

(0.1875-0.274) + 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.1875(1-0.1875)}{400} +\frac{0.274(1-0.274)}{500}}=-0.0318  

And the upper limit would be -0.0318

16-2t=3/2t+9 solve for t
In-s [12.5K]

answer: t=2

steps:

16-2t = 3/2t+9

7 = 3/2t + 2t

2 is 4/2

7 = 3/2t + 4/2t

7 = 7/2t

7/2t = 7

(2/7)7/2t=7(2/7)

t=7(2/7)

t=2

Neporo4naja [7]
75 feet = 900 inches.

1 foot = 12 inches, so 75 x 12 = 900.
