Answer:

98% C.I. = [-0.1270, 0.0994]

Step-by-step explanation:

Here

p1= proportion of men smokers

p1= 45/175= 0.2571

p2= proportion of women smokers

p2= 42/155= 0.2709

1)  Choose the significance level ∝= 0.02

2) The formula for confidence interval is

(p1^- p2^)- z ∝/2sqrt( p1^(1-p1^)/n1 + ( p2^(1-p2^)/n2))

and

(p1^- p2^) z ∝/2sqrt( p1^(1-p1^)/n1 + ( p2^(1-p2^)/n2))

<u>3)  The z value is 2.05</u>

<u>4) Calculations:</u>

(p1^- p2^)- z ∝/2sqrt( p1^(1-p1^)/n1 + ( p2^(1-p2^)/n2))

Putting the values

= 0.2571-0.2709)(-2.05) sqrt ( 0.2571(1-0.2571)/175+ 0.2709(1-0.2709)/155)

=-0.1270 ( using calculator)

And

(p1^- p2^)z ∝/2sqrt( p1^(1-p1^)/n1 + ( p2^(1-p2^)/n2))

Putting the values

= 0.2571-0.2709)(2.05) sqrt ( 0.2571(1-0.2571)/175+ 0.2709(1-0.2709)/155)

=0.0994  ( using calculator)

and Putting ± 2.05 in the confidence interval formula we get limits (-0.1270, 0.0994)

Since opening night, attendance at Play A has increased steadily, while attendance at Play B first rose and then fell. Equations
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

On 5th day and 13th day Attendance was equal for both plays and it was

231 for each .

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find same attendance ,we need  plug both equation equal

         -x^2+26x+126 = 8x+191

        -x^2+26x-8x+126-191 = 0

        -x^2 +18x-65 =0

      multiplying both sides by -1 ,we get

      x^2 -18x+ 65 =0

        (x-5) (x-13) =0

         x =5 and x =13

On 5th day and 13th  day attendance was same.

And attendance can be obtained by plugging x =5 in either of equation

 y = 8(5)+191

   = 40 +191

  = 231

Could you show me the process on how to get the volume. ​
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Volume = length x width x height.

You only need to know one side to figure out the volume of a cube.

The units of measure for volume are cubic units.

Volume is in three-dimensions.

You can multiply the sides in any order.

Which side you call length, width, or height doesn't matter.
