Answer:

I will do a step by step explanation to help you.

First, subtract 16 from 31 so you can simplify what you need to find. We will call the unknown number X. So 5x = 15

15/5 = 3 so X = 3

Lets plug in X

3 x 5 + 16 = 31

Makes sense!

Hope this helps

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So first, we'll have to do a quick equation.

31 - 16 = 15

Now, we can divide 15 by 5.

15 ÷ 5 = 3

So now we know that the sum of 5 times a number and 16 is 3 because:

3 x 5 = 15

15 + 16 = 31

So therefore, your answer is 3.

Answer:

a) The confidence interval is $0.00\leq\pi_1-\pi_2\leq0.02$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a confidence interval (CI) of a difference of proportions.

For the existing procedure, the proportion is:

$p_1=75/1500=0.05$

For the new procedure, the proportion is:

$p_2=80/2000=0.04$

To calculate the CI, we need to estimate the standard deviation

$s=\sqrt{\frac{p_1(1-p_1)}{n_1} +\frac{p_2(1-p_2)}{n_2} }\\\\s=\sqrt{\frac{0.05(1-0.05)}{1500} +\frac{0.04(1-0.04)}{2000} }=\sqrt{ 0.000032 + 0.000019 }=\sqrt{ 0.000051 }\\\\s=0.007$

For a 90% CI, the z-value is 1.64.

Then, the CI is:

$(p_1-p_2)-z*\sigma \leq\pi_1-\pi_2\leq(p_1-p_2)+z*\sigma \\\\(0.05-0.04)-1.64*0.007\leq\pi_1-\pi_2\leq(0.05-0.04)+1.64*0.007\\\\0.01-0.01\leq\pi_1-\pi_2\leq0.01+0.01\\\\0.00\leq\pi_1-\pi_2\leq0.02$
