<h3><u>Solution</u></h3>

<u>Given </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • Paul is exactly 6yrs older than jane.
  • jane.the ratio of their ages is5:3

<u>F</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>d</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • Age off paul.

<h3><u>E</u><u>x</u><u>p</u><u>l</u><u>a</u><u>n</u><u>a</u><u>t</u><u>i</u><u>o</u><u>n</u></h3>

<u>Let,</u>

  • Age of paul = x years
  • Age of jane = y years

<u>A</u><u>c</u><u>c</u><u>o</u><u>r</u><u>d</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>g</u><u> </u><u>to</u><u> question</u>

==> x = 6 + y

==> x - y = 6_____(1)

<u>And,</u>

==> x : y = 5:3

==> x/y = 5/3

==> 3x - 5y = 0______(2)

Multiply by 3 in equ(1)

==> 3x - 3y = 18_____(3)

<u>Subtract</u><u> </u><u>equ(</u><u>2</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>&</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>3</u><u>)</u>

==> -5y + 3y = -18

==> -2y = -18

==> y = 18/2

==> y = 9

<u>keep </u><u>in </u><u>equ(</u><u>2</u><u>)</u>

==> 3x - 5×9 = 0

==> 3x = 45

==> x = 45/3

==> x = 15

<h3><u>Hence</u></h3>

  • Age of paul = 15 year

mash [69]

Answer:

Error Bound = 0.04

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever we want to estimate parameter from a subset (or sample) of the population, we need to considerate that your estimation won't be a 100% precise, in other words, the process will have a random component that prevents us from always making the exact decision.

With that in mind, the objective of a confidence interval is to give us a better insight of where we expect to find the "true" value of the parameter with a certain degree of certainty.

The estivamative of the true difference between proportions was -0.19 and the confidence interval was [-0.23 ; -0.15].

The question also defines the error bound, as the right endpoint of the confidence interval minus the sample mean difference, so it's pretty straight foward:

Error Bound = -0.15 -(-0.19) = -0.15 + 0.19 = 0.04

The interpretation of this would be that we expect that the estimative for the difference of proportions would deviate from the "true" difference about \pm 0.04 or 4%.
