Answer: The northern California study with a margin of error of 3.2%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for margin of error for proportion is given by :-

z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}

Given : Significance level : \alpha:1-0.98=0.02

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=2.33

For northern California , the sample size was takes : n= 1000

The proportion of patients  experienced flu like symptoms during the month of December = 0.74

Then , the margin of error will be :-

(2.33)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.74(1-0.74)}{1000}}\approx0.032=3.2\%

For southern California , the sample size was takes : n= 500

The proportion of patients  experienced flu like symptoms during the month of December = 0.34

Then , the margin of error will be :-

(2.33)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.34(1-0.34)}{500}}\approx0.049=4.9\%

Clearly, the northern California study with a margin of error of 3.2%  has the smallest margin of error for a 98% confidence interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

You are contrasting the numbers, so that means you are subtracting. When you subtract, the larger number goes on top..

7.47 - 6.75 = ?

So then you subtract and get $0.72.
