Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the difference between proportions is (-0.260, -0.165).

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

"A survey reported in Time magazine included the question ‘‘Do you favor a federal law requiring a 15 day waiting period to purchase a gun?” Results from a random sample of US citizens showed that 318 of the 520 men who were surveyed supported this proposed law while 379 of the 460 women sampled said ‘‘yes”. Use this information to find a 90% confidence interval for the difference in the two proportions, pm - pw. Subscript pm is the proportion of men who support the proposed law and pw is the proportion of women who support the proposed law. (Round answers to 3 decimal places.)"

We want to calculate the bounds of a 90% confidence interval.

For a 90% CI, the critical value for z is z=1.645.

The sample of men, of size nm=-0.26 has a proportion of pm=0.612.

$p_m=X_m/n_m=318/520=0.612$

The sample 2, of size nw= has a proportion of pw=0.824.

$p_w=X_w/n_w=379/460=0.824$

The difference between proportions is (pm-pw)=-0.212.

$p_d=p_m-p_w=0.612-0.824=-0.212$

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

$p=\dfrac{X_m+X_w}{n_m+n_w}=\dfrac{318+379}{520+460}=\dfrac{697}{980}=0.711$

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

$s_{pm-pw}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_m}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_w}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.711*0.289}{520}+\dfrac{0.711*0.289}{460}}\\\\\\s_{pm-pw}=\sqrt{0.00039+0.00045}=\sqrt{0.001}=0.029$

Then, the margin of error is:

$MOE=z \cdot s_{pm-pw}=1.645\cdot 0.029=0.0477$

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

$LL=(p_1-p_2)-z\cdot s_{p1-p2} = -0.212-0.0477=-0.260\\\\UL=(p_1-p_2)+z\cdot s_{p1-p2}= -0.212+0.0477=-0.165$

The 90% confidence interval for the difference between proportions is (-0.260, -0.165).

HELP ME

kherson [118]

Answer: 18

Step-by-step explanation: for the boys 4 times 18 equals 72 so there are 4 rows of 18. for the girls 5 times 18 is 90 so 5 rows of 18.

X 2 +6x+___ complete the square

vaieri [72.5K]

9 is the blank.

(a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2

a = x
b = 3

(x+3)^2 = x^2 + 6x + 9

Find the slope of the line whose equation is 17 + 3y = 7x.

svetoff [14.1K]

17 + 3y = 7x
3y = 7x - 17
y = 7/3x - 17/3
= 7/3

Create and describe a function related to your field (or intended field). Give a detailed explanation of the domain (input) and

Andru [333]

An example of a domain that can be illustrated from the information given will be D(x) = 32.

<h3>Domain and range</h3>

An example based on the information given is "A gas tank in John's car can hold 20 gallons of gas and the car gets 32 miles for every gallon".

John fills up the tank and then goes on a trip. In this case, the distance that will be travelled on one tank will be:

D(x) = 32x

In the above function, it should be noted that the number of gallons can be from 0 to 20. Since he gets 32 miles per gallon, the car can travel 640 miles.

In this case, the domain is the number of gallons that can be used. The number of miles will be the range.
