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).

An object travels along the x-axis so that its position after t seconds is given by x(t) = 2t2 – 5t – 18 for all times t such th

Degger [83]

the function is given, and it's value is where the object is ("how far to the right").

so as long as it rises (going more right), this will be apply.

in the screenshot I graphed the function. of course t is graphed as x and "along the x-axis" is graphed as y, but the pattern is the same anyways.

for the first 1.25 seconds the object goes to the left, and after that always to the right.

since we look at t to calculate x, t effectively takes the role of the important variable that is normally given to x. the calculation pattern are just the same. so let's find the lowest point of this function by calculating it out.

x(t) = 2t² – 5t – 18

x'(t) = 4t -5

x'(t) = 0

0 = 4t -5

5 = 4t

1.25 = t

plugging it into the second derivative

x''(t) = 4

x''(1.25) = 4

it's positive, so at t=1.25 there is a low point

(of course the second derivative is constant anyways.)

the object is traveling toward the right
