The width of the deck woul be 5 feet because, the deck is a rectangle, meaning it has 4 sides. If you know two of thoses sides are 10 feet in lenghth, that adds up to 20 ft in perimeter. You subtract 20 from the perimeter of 30 ft, and get 10. You divide the ten by the two remaining sides of the deck and get the answer of 5 ft

10+10=20
30-20=10
10/2=5
Therefore the width is 5
Hope this helped:)

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the difference of proportions is (0.01775,0.18225).

Step-by-step explanation:

Before building the confidence interval, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

20 out of 100, so:

$p_1 = \frac{20}{100} = 0.2$
