Write a system of equation based on the number
For an instance, the two numbers are a and b.
"The sum of two numbers is 59" can be written as follows.
⇒ a + b = 59  <em>(first equation)
</em>"The difference is 15" can be written as follows.
⇒ a - b = 15  <em>(second equation)</em>

Solve the system of equation by elimination/substitution method.
First, eliminate b to find the value of a.
a + b = 59
a -  b = 15
--------------- + (add)
2a     = 74
  a     = 74/2
  a     = 37

Second, substitute 37 as a in one of the equations
a + b = 59
37 + b = 59
b = 59 - 37
b = 22

The numbers are 37 and 22

Suppose a 95% confidence interval for a population proportion is found using the 2SD or theory-based method. Which of the follow
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

C. The sample proportion

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2SD is commonly referred to as a simple and widely used method for the 95% confidence interval. The theory-based method is widely used for evaluation such as a conceptual analytical equation. This is not a specific analytical method but a way to analyze. It can be inferred that both 2SD and the theory-based methods will contain the sample proportion.
