Yes, it is. To find this out, you need to make the denominators the same. They can both multiply into 15, so we change the denominators to 15. Whatever we do to the bottom, we also have to do to the top.

2/3 = 10/15

1/5 = 3/15

We can then see that 10 is more than 3 :)

Answer:

And we got $\alpha/2 =0.01$ so then the value for $\alpha=0.02$ and then the confidence level is given by: $Conf=1-0.02=0.98[/tex[ or 98%Step-by-step explanation:A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval". The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval. Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean". [tex]p_1$ represent the real population proportion for 1

$\hat p_1 =0.768$ represent the estimated proportion for 1

$n_1=92$ is the sample size required for 1

$p_2$ represent the real population proportion for 2

$\hat p_2 =0.646$ represent the estimated proportion for 2

$n_2=95$ is the sample size required for 2

$z$ represent the critical value for the margin of error

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

$(\hat p_1 -\hat p_2) \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1} +\frac{\hat p_2 (1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}}$

For this case we have the confidence interval given by: (-0.0313,0.2753). From this we can find the margin of erro on this way:

$ME= \frac{0.2753-(-0.0313)}{2}=0.1533$

And we know that the margin of erro is given by:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1} +\frac{\hat p_2 (1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}}$

We have all the values except the value for $z_{\alpha/2}$

So we can find it like this:

$0.1533=z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{0.768(1-0.768)}{92} +\frac{0.646 (1-0.646)}{95}}$

And solving for $z_{\alpha/2}$ we got:

$z_{\alpha/2}=2.326$

And we can find the value for $\alpha/2$ with the following excel code:

"=1-NORM.DIST(2.326,0,1,TRUE)"

And we got $\alpha/2 =0.01$ so then the value for $\alpha=0.02$ and then the confidence level is given by: $Conf=1-0.02=0.98$ or 98%

kiruha [24]

Answer:

$8

Step-by-step explanation:

$40:15 gallons

<u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u>:3 gallons

So first you say what did you do to 15 to get three?

15÷3= 5

Now you divide forty by five since that is what you did to 15 to get three.

40÷5= 8

What is 6/2(1+2)=?

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Answer is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember PEMDAS???

"parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction"

you would first solve the addition inside of the parentheses (1 + 2 = 3), and from there finish the equation as it's written from left to right.
