Answer:

The equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line that passes through the point (-4, 2) is y = -9·x/5 + 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the point of intersection of the two lines = (5, 9)

The coordinates of a point on one of the two lines, line 1 = (-4, 4)

The slope of a line perpendicular to another line with slope, m = -1/m

Therefore, we have;

The slope, m₁, of the line 1 with the known point = (9 - 4)/(5 - (-4)) = 5/9

Therefore, the slope, m₂, of the line 2 perpendicular to the line that passes through the point (-4, 4) = -9/5

The equation of the line 2 is given as follows;

y - 9 = -9/5×(x - 5)

y - 9 = -9·x/5 + 9

y = -9·x/5 + 9 + 9

y = -9·x/5 + 18

Therefore, the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line that passes through the point (-4, 2) is y = -9·x/5 + 18.

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportion of women who drink alcohol and the proportion of men who drink alcohol is (-0.102, -0.014) or (-10.2%, -1.4%).

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to calculate the bounds of a 95% confidence interval of the difference between proportions.

For a 95% CI, the critical value for z is z=1.96.

The sample 1 (women), of size n1=1000 has a proportion of p1=0.494.

$p_1=X_1/n_1=494/1000=0.494$

The sample 2 (men), of size n2=1000 has a proportion of p2=0.552.

$p_2=X_2/n_2=552/1000=0.552$

The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=-0.058.

$p_d=p_1-p_2=0.494-0.552=-0.058$

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

$p=\dfrac{X_1+X_2}{n_1+n_2}=\dfrac{494+552}{1000+1000}=\dfrac{1046}{2000}=0.523$

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

$s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.523*0.477}{1000}+\dfrac{0.523*0.477}{1000}}\\\\\\s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{0.000249+0.000249}=\sqrt{0.000499}=0.022$
