Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

You can simplify it by looking for what divides into both numbers. The lowest possible number is 3 because it can go into both 9 and 12.

9/3=3

12/3=4

3/4

So we know that 3/4 is equivalent to 9/12, because 3×12=36 and 4×9=36. A simple way to look at how to check for equivalent fractions is to do what is called “cross-multiply”, which means multiple the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other fraction. Then do the same thing in reverse.

3/8×4/10=12/80

probability getting both black marbles

5/8×6/10=30/80

12/80+30/80=42/80= 21/80

A survey reported in Time magazine included the question ‘‘Do you favor a federal law requiring a day waiting period to purchase

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).
