Complete Question

The  complete question is shown on the first uploaded image  

Answer:

The  95% confidence interval is  -0.00870

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The first sample  size  is  n_1  =  1068000

     The first proportion  \r p_1 = 0.084

     The second  sample size is  n_2  =  1476000

     The  second  proportion is  \r p_2 =  0.092

Given that the confidence level is  95%  then the level of significance is mathematically represented as

      \alpha =  (100 - 95)\%

     \alpha =  0.05

From the normal distribution table  we obtain the critical value of  \frac{ \alpha }{2}  the value is  

      Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =z_c=  1.96

Now using the formula from the question to construct the 95% confidence interval we have  

  (\r p_1 - \r p_2  )- z_c \sqrt{ \frac{\r p_1 \r q_1 }{n_1} + \frac{\r p_2 \r q_2 }{n_2} }

Here \r q_1 =  1 - \r p_1

  =>   \r q_1 =  1 - 0.084

 =>    \r q =  0.916

and  

   \r q_2 =  1 - \r p_2

 =>   \r q_2 =  1 - 0.092

=>   \r q_2 = 0.908

So  

 (0.084 - 0.092 )- (1.96)*  \sqrt{ \frac{0.092* 0.916 }{1068000} + \frac{0.084* 0.908 }{1476000} }

  -0.00870

line k has a slop of -5. Line J is perpendicular to line K and passes through the point (5,9). Create the equation for line j.
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = 1/5x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the slope of k is -5, the slope of j has to be 1/5. This is because perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes.

Now we can use the slope and the point in point-slope form to get the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 9 = 1/5(x - 5)

y - 9 = 1/5x - 1

y = 1/5x + 8
