Obtain the required confidence interval for the difference between two population proportions. Assume that independent simple ra

ndom samples have been selected from the two populations. A survey found that 37 of 74 randomly selected women and 47 of 74 randomly selected men follow a regular exercise program. Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of women and men who follow a regular exercise program. Group of answer choices

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of women and men who follow a regular exercise program = ( -0.293, 0.023)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for confidence interval for the difference between the proportions is given as:

p1 - p2 ± z × √p1 (1 - p1)/n1 + p2(1 - p2)/n2

From the question

We have two groups.

Group 1 = For women

A survey found that 37 of 74 randomly selected women

p1 = x/n1

n1 = 74

x1 = 37

p1 = 37/74

p1 = 0.5

Group 2 = For Men

A survey found out that 47 of 74 randomly selected men follow a regular exercise program

p2 = x/n1

n2= 74

x2 = 47

p2 = 47/74

p2 = 0.6351351351 ≈ 0.635

z = z score for 95% Confidence Interval = 1.96

The confidence interval for the difference between the proportions is given as:

p1 - p2 ± z × √p1 (1 - p1)/n1 + p2(1 - p2)/n2

0.5 - 0.635 ± 1.96 × √0.5 (1 - 0.5)/74 + 0.635(1 - 0.635)/74

-0.135 ± 1.96 × √(0.5 × 0.5)/74 + (0.635× 0.365)/74

-0.135 ± 1.96 × 0.08068750209663572

-0.135 ± 0.158147504109406

Hence:

= -0.135 - 0.158147504109406

= -0.2931475041

Approximately = -0.293

= -0.135 + 0.158147504109406

= 0.0231475041

Approximately = 0.023

Therefore, the 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of women and men who follow a regular exercise program = ( -0.293, 0.023)

ANTONII [103]

The cost of each bag of soil is $ 16.25 and the cost of each bag of fertilizer is $ 12.99.

<h3>What is the linear system?</h3>

A linear system is one in which the parameter in the equation has a degree of one. It might have one, two, or even more variables.

Mr. Ellis has started a vegetable garden.

He bought 15 bags of soil and 3 bags of fertilizer for 282.72.

He realized he did not have enough supplies so he bought another 5 bags of soil and 2 bags of fertilizer for 107.23.

Let the cost of each bag of soil be x and the cost of a bag of fertilizer be y.

Then we have the linear equations,

15x + 3y = 282.72

5x + 2y = 107.23

On solving the equations 1 and 2, we have

x = 16.25 and y = 12.99

The cost of each bag of soil is $ 16.25 and the cost of each bag of fertilizer is $ 12.99.

More about the linear system link is given below.

Logs are stacked in a pile. The top row has 15 logs and the bottom row has 24 logs. How many logs are there in the stack?
ziro4ka [17]
There are two ways you can do this. You can use the longer way:
15+16+17+18+19+20+21+22+23+24 = 195 (starting from the top row, which has 15 logs, up until the bottom row, which has 24 logs, on condition that each second row has one log more than the previous one)

You can also use the formula (where n is the number of rows)
x= (n(first term+last term))/2
x= (10(15+24))/2
x= (10*39)/2
x=390/2
x=195

Either way, there are 195 logs in the stack.

What is the range of the given function?
Fed [463]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (b)  {yly = -9, -3, 0, 5, 7}

Step-by-step explanation:

The range is the set of y-values in the ordered pairs. It is usually convenient to list a set in alphanumeric order.

The second values of the ordered pairs are 0, -3, -9, 5, 7. So, the range is ...

  y ∈ {-9, -3, 0, 5, 7} . . . . . matches the second choice
