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

VARVARA [1.3K]
The answer is 10 x 62. He has 62 across, and 10 vertically. To find how many total he needs, you have to multiply both together. I hope this helps!

This line segment will be dilated with the point of dilation at (4,1) and scale factor of 2. What is the x-coordinate of one of
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

<h3>8</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

If a coordinate point (x, y) is dilated by a factor k, then the resulting coordinate will be (kx, ky)

Given the coordinate (4,1), if this coordinate is dilated by a factor of 2 then the new coordinate points will be at (2(4), 2(1))

New point = (8, 2)

Hence  x-coordinate of one of the the end point of the dilated segment is 8
