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

a factory could produce 84 toy robots in one day. They purchased some new equipment. Now they can produce 105 robots in one day.
kompoz [17]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

25 % increase in production rate

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question, we note that

Initial number of products = 84 toy robots per day

Present production rate = 105 robots per day

The percentage increase is given by the increase in production rate divided by the original production rate multiplied by 100  

Where increase in production rate = 105 - 84 = 21

Percentage increase = 21/84 ×100 = 25 % increase

Because of the relatively high interest rates, most consumers attempt to pay off their credit card bills promptly. However, this
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be average interest paid monthly by a bank's Visa cardholders

Given that X is N(28, 8)

In the following to find out probability we convert X to z score and use std normal distribution table

Z = \frac{x-28}{8}

Probability being less than 1 is here equal to the proportion also.

A) P(X>32) = P(Z>0.5)=0.5-0.1915=0.3085

B) P(X>40) = P(Z>1)=0.5-0.3413=0.1687

C) P(X<19) = P(Z<-1.125)=0.5-0.0438=0.4562

D) We have to find 19th percentile here

Z =-0.88

X=28-0.88(8)\\=20.96

Margie's work for adding linear expressions is shown below. After checking her answer with the answer key, she solved it incorre
xxMikexx [17]

The correct form of expression after solving the errors is :

-5.83b + 24

Given Margie's work for adding linear expressions are:

the expression is (−1.56b + 10) − (4.27b − 14)

step 1: −1.56b + 10 + (−4.27b) + 14

In the first step of margie, she did not used the proper method of opening the brackets.

The negative sign is used to multiply the terms inside the brackets.

so the correct step is:

step 1: -1.56b + 10 - 4.27b + 14

in the next step arrange the variables and constants.

step 2 :  -1.56b - 4.27b +10 + 14

next add the variables and the constants:

step 3: (-1.56b - 4.27b) +(10 + 14)

step 4: -5.83b + 24

Hence we get the required results.
