Answer: (0.00306,0.00334)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size : n= 420000

The number of users developed cancer of the brain or nervous system =134

Then , the proportion of users developed cancer of the brain or nervous system :

p=\dfrac{134}{420000}\approx0.0032

Significance level : 1-0.90=0.1

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=1.645

The confidence interval for population proportion is given by :-

p\ \pm\ z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}\\\\=0.0032\pm (1.645)\sqrt{\dfrac{(0.0032)(1-0.0032)}{420000}}\approx0.0032\pm0.00014\\\\=(0.00306,0.00334)

Hence, the 90​% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of cell phone users who develop cancer of the brain or nervous system is (0.00306,0.00334).

<span> 2.5=2 1/2 = 5/2
2/5 = 0.4
bring to decimals 2.5 >0.4
because by dropping the decimal points we gave 25>4
compering by fraction 2 1/2 = 5/2
2/5
bring to a common denominator of 10  5(5) / 2(5); 2(2) / 5(2)=>
25/10; 4/10
compare numerators 25>4

Answer:

Mei is correct because -9 is to the left of -3 on the number line.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because -9 is LESS than -3, when you add or subtract using negative numbers, such as 7-9, you get -2. However when you subtract 7-13, you get -6. Because you subtracted a greater number from 7, your answer is -6 is LESS than -2. This is the same with inequalities, greater negative numbers will always be smaller and smaller negative numbers will always be greater.

Hope this helps!

P(5,3); y=4x<br><br>if you help me I will be thankful forever pls
horrorfan [7]
Y= -1/4x + 4.25, perdendicular then it must be the opposite of 4x which is -1/4. Then you multiply it with 5 and then add or subtract a number so you can find 3. So -1/4× 5 + 4.25= 3. Here you gooo!
