Answer:

(0.4543 ; 0.5057)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a confidence interval for one sample proportion :

Phat , = 0.48

Sample size = 1450

1 - phat = 1 - 0.48 = 0.52

Zcritical = 95% ; Zcritical at 95% = 1.96

Using the relation :

Phat ± Zcritical *√[phat(1-phat) / n]

√[phat(1-phat) / n] = √(0.48*0.52) /1450) = 0.0131201

Lower boundary :

0.48 - (1.96 * 0.0131201) = 0.4543

Upper boundary :

0.48 + (1.96 * 0.0131201) = 0.5057

(0.4543 ; 0.5057)

Tems11 [23]
For June:
 Bike:
 (4) * (3 1/4) = 13 miles
 Swim:
 (4) * (2 1/2) = 10 miles

 13 + 10 = 23 miles
 For July:
 Bike:
 (3) * (4 3/4) = 14.25 miles
 Swim:
 (3) * (3 1/2) = 10.5 miles
 Total:
 14.25 + 10.5 = 24.75 miles
 The difference between both months is:
 24.75 - 23 = 1.75 miles
 Answer:
