1/3 x 4/4 = 4/12
4/12 + 5/12 = 9/12
12/12 - 9/12 = 3/12
3/12 = 1/4

A certain geneticist is interested in the proportion of males and females in the population who have a minor blood disorder. In
lord [1]

Answer:

95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of males and females who have the blood disorder is [-0.064 , 0.014].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a certain geneticist is interested in the proportion of males and females in the population who have a minor blood disorder.

A random sample of 1000 males, 250 are found to be afflicted, whereas 275 of 1000 females tested appear to have the disorder.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the difference between population proportion is given by;

                        P.Q. = \frac{(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)-(p_1-p_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p_1 = sample proportion of males having blood disorder= \frac{250}{1000} = 0.25

\hat p_2 = sample proportion of females having blood disorder = \frac{275}{1000} = 0.275

n_1 = sample of males = 1000

n_2 = sample of females = 1000

p_1 = population proportion of males having blood disorder

p_2 = population proportion of females having blood disorder

<em>Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used Two-sample z proportion statistics.</em>

<u>So, 95% confidence interval for the difference between the population proportions, </u><u>(</u>p_1-p_2<u>)</u><u> is ;</u>

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95  {As the critical value of z at 2.5% level

                                             of significance are -1.96 & 1.96}  

P(-1.96 < \frac{(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)-(p_1-p_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} } < 1.96) = 0.95

P( -1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} } < {(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)-(p_1-p_2)} < 1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} } ) = 0.95

P( (\hat p_1-\hat p_2)-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} } < (p_1-p_2) < (\hat p_1-\hat p_2)+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} } ) = 0.95

<u>95% confidence interval for</u> (p_1-p_2) =

[(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} }, (\hat p_1-\hat p_2)+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} }]

= [ (0.25-0.275)-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.25(1-0.25)}{1000}+ \frac{0.275(1-0.275)}{1000}} }, (0.25-0.275)+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.25(1-0.25)}{1000}+ \frac{0.275(1-0.275)}{1000}} } ]

 = [-0.064 , 0.014]

Therefore, 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of males and females who have the blood disorder is [-0.064 , 0.014].

The slope of the line below is -5 which of the following is the point-slope form of the line (2,-8)
insens350 [35]
The point slope form has the following syntax.

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)
m = slope = -5 
y - y_1 = -5(x - x_1)
(x,y) = (2,-8)
x_1 = 2
y_1 = -8
y - y_1 = -5(x - x_1)
y - (-8) = -5(x - 2)
y + 8 = -5(x - 2)  <------Answer
