Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
ST = w + 6,
PR = w
From the diagram given, we can deduce that PR is the midsegment of ∆QST. Therefore, according to the midsegment theorem:
PR = ½ of ST
Plug in the values into the equation and solve for w.
(distributive property of equality)
(subtraction property of equality)
(multiplication property of equality)
(subtraction property of equality)
Divide both sides by -1

Complete Question
It has been found that 26% of men 20 years and older suffer from hypertension (high blood pressure) and 31.5% of women are hypertensive. A random sample 150 of each gender was selected from recent hospital records, and the following results were obtained.
Men. 43 patients had high blood pressure
Woman. 52 patients had high blood pressure.
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval is
This mean that there is a 95 % confidence that the difference between the true proportions of male and female that are hypertensive is within this interval and given that the interval contains zero then there is no statistically significant difference between the genders that are hypertensive
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample size for male is
The number of male that are hypertensive is
The sample size of female is
The number of female that are hypertensive is
The proportion of male that are hypertensive is mathematically represented as
The proportion of female that are hypertensive is mathematically represented as
From the question we are told that confidence level is 95%, hence the level of significance is mathematically represented as
Next we obtain the critical value of from the normal distribution table, the value is
Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as
substituting value
The 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as
substituting values
This mean that there is a 95 % confidence that the difference between the true proportion is within this interval and given that the interval contains zero then there is no statistically significant difference between the genders that are hypertensive.
