A random sample of 100 people from Country S had 15 people with blue eyes. A separate random sample of 100 people from Country B

had 25 people with blue eyes.
Assuming all conditions are met, which of the following is a 95 percent confidence interval to estimate the difference in population proportions of people with blue eyes (Country S - Country B)?

A) (-0.01, 0.21)
B) (-0.15, -0.05)
C) (-0.19, -0.01)
D (-0.21, 0.01)

Given Information:

Sample size of country S = ns = 100

Sample size of country B = nb = 100

Number of people with blue eyes in country S = 15

Number of people with blue eyes in country B = 25

Confidence level = 95%

Required Information:

Difference in population proportion = ?

Answer:

A (-0.01, 0.21)

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in mean is

μ = ps - pb

μ = 15/100 - 25/100

μ = 0.15 - 0.25

μ = 0.10

The difference in standard error is

ο = z*√(ps(1 - ps)/ns + pb(1 - pb)/nb)

The z-score corresponding to 95% confidence interval is 1.96

ο = 1.96*√(0.15(1 - 0.15)/100 + 0.25(1 - 0.25)/100)

ο = 1.96*√(0.15(0.85)/100 + 0.25(0.75)/100)

ο = 0.11

Therefore, the difference in population proportion with blue eyes is

μ ± ο

μ + ο, μ - ο

0.10 + 0.11, 0.10 - 0.11

0.21, -0.01

(-0.01, 0.21)

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Answer:

<h2>The correct answer is option (D)  (-0.21, 0.01)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

Data Given;

Total number of people in country S = 100

people with blue eyes in country  S = 15

Total number of people in country B = 100

People with blue eyes in country  B = 25

Let the Y represent number of people with blue eyes in both countries and let Z represent total number of people in both country.

Therefore,

Y₁= 15

Y₂= 25

Z₁ = 100

Z₂ = 100

Sample proportion of country (S₁)  = Y1/Z1 = 15/100 = 0.15

Sample proportion of B country  (S₂) =  Y2/Z2 = 25/100 = 0.25

To calculate the 95% confidence interval, we use the formula;

<h2>Confidence interval (CI) =</h2><h2> (S₁ -S₂)  ± Zₐ₋₂ * √[S₁( 1-S₁)/z₁ + S₂(1-S₂)/z₂]</h2><h2>                                                                                                      </h2>

At 95% confidence interval, the z-score from standard normal table is  1.96.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

CI = (0.15-0.25) ± 1.96*√[0.15( 1-0.15/100) + 0.25(1-0.25)/100]

   =  -0.1 ± 1.96*√[(0.15*0.85)/100 + (0.25*0.75)/100]

   = -0.1 ± 1.96*√[0.1275/100+ 0.1875/100]

   = -0.1 ± 1.96*√[0.001275 + 0.001875]

   = -0.1 ± 1.96* √0.00315

  = -0.1 ± 1.96*0.0561

  = -0.1 +0.11

  = -0.1 -0.11 , -0.1 + 0.11

<h2>  CI  = (-0.21, 0.01)</h2>

What is the median of the data set? <br> {10, 15, 14, 14, 10, 10, 8, 18, 11, 12, 17, 16}
Alexus [3.1K]
The median of a data set is the 'middle number'. You can find the median by listing the given numbers from least to greatest (left to right) and finding the middle number.

8, 10, 10, 10, 11, 12, 14, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18

Cross one out on each side before getting to your last number that should be in the middle. 

The middle numbers are: 12 and 14. If it was only one number, we could already have the answer, but since it is two numbers in the middle, we need to add them up and divide by 2. 

12 + 14 = 26
26 ÷ 2 = 13

So, the median of the data set is: 13.

The shower block on the campsite has an area of 144 m2 The length of the shower block is 24 m.What is the width?
g100num [7]

Since the shower block is in the form of a rectangle. The shower block has an area of 144m^{2}. It has a length of 24m. We need to calculate the width of the shower block.

Area of rectangular shower block = length \times width

144m^{2} = 24 m \times width

width = = \frac{144m^{2}}{24m}

width = 6m

So, the width of the shower block is 6 meters.
