Answer:

The value is  P( | \^p - p | <  0.04) = 0.9408

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The population proportion is p =  0.19

   The sample size is n = 343

 Generally given that the ample size is large enough , i.e  n > 30 then the mean of this sampling distribution is mathematically represent

      \mu_{x} = p = 0.19

 Generally the standard deviation is mathematically represented as

      \sigma   =\sqrt{\frac{p(1- p)}{n} }

=>   \sigma   =\sqrt{\frac{0.19 (1- 0.19 )}{343 } }  

=>   \sigma   = 0.0212

Generally the the probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by less than 4% is mathematically represented as

        P( | \^p - p | <  0.04) = P( \frac{|\^ p - p |}{ \sigma_p } <  \frac{0.04}{0.0212 }  )

\frac{|\^ p - p |}{\sigma }  =  |Z| (The  \ standardized \  value\  of  \ |\^ p - p | )

     P( | \^p - p | <  0.04) = P( |Z| <  1.887   )

=>  P( | \^p - p | <  0.04) = P( Z <  1.887   )- P( Z <  -1.887   )

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to  1.887  and  - 1.887  is

      P( Z <  1.887   )= 0.97042

and  

     P( Z <  -1.887   )= 0.02958

So

     P( | \^p - p | <  0.04) = 0.97042 - 0.02958

=>   P( | \^p - p | <  0.04) = 0.9408

in the blanks below. Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-9, 2) and (9,2). slope: ​
user100 [1]

I will assume that we are trying to find the slope between (-9,2) and (9, 2)

The slope's equation ⇒  \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

<u>Let's set the variables</u>:

   (x1, y1) --> (-9, 2)

   (x2, y2) --> (9, 2)

<u>Now let's plug them in:</u>

  Slope = \frac{2-2}{9--9} =\frac{0}{18} =0

<u>Thus the slope of the line is 0.</u>

Hope that helps!
