Complete Question

It has been found that 26% of men 20 years and older suffer from hypertension (high blood pressure) and 31.5% of women are hypertensive. A random sample 150 of each gender was selected from recent hospital records, and the following results were obtained.

Men. 43 patients had high blood pressure

Woman. 52 patients had high blood pressure.

The 95% confidence interval is

- 0.1651 < p_m - p_f

This mean that there is a 95 % confidence that the difference between the true proportions of male and female that are hypertensive is within this interval and given that the interval contains zero then there is no statistically significant difference between the genders that are hypertensive

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size for male is n_1 = 150

The number of male that are hypertensive is m = 42

The sample size of female is n_2 = 150

The number of female that are hypertensive is q = 52

The proportion of male that are hypertensive is mathematically represented as

$\r p_m = \frac{43}{150}$

$\r p_m = 0.287$

The proportion of female that are hypertensive is mathematically represented as

$p_f = \frac{52}{150}$

p_f = 0.347

From the question we are told that confidence level is 95%, hence the level of significance is mathematically represented as

$\alpha = 100 -95$

$\alpha =5\%$

$\alpha =0.05$

Next we obtain the critical value of $\frac{ \alpha }{2}$ from the normal distribution table, the value is

$Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } = 1.96$

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{\frac{ \r p_m (1- \r p_m )}{n_1} + \frac{ \r p_f (1- \r p_f )}{n_2} }$

substituting value

$E = 1.96 * \sqrt{\frac{ 0.287 (1- 0.287 )}{150} + \frac{ 0.347 (1- 0.347 )}{150} }$

E = 0.1051

The 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

$(\r p_m - \r p_f ) - E < p_m - p_f < (\r p_m - \r p_f ) + E$

substituting values

( 0.287 - 0.347 ) - 0.1051 < p_m - p_f

- 0.1651 < p_m - p_f

This mean that there is a 95 % confidence that the difference between the true proportion is within this interval and given that the interval contains zero then there is no statistically significant difference between the genders that are hypertensive.

After a dreary day of rain, the sun peeks through the clouds and a rainbow forms. you notice the rainbow is the shape of a parabola. the equation for this parabola is y = -x2 + 36. graph of a parabola opening down at the vertex 0 comma 36 crossing the x–axis at negative 6 comma 0 and 6 comma 0. in the distance, an airplane is taking off. as it ascends during take-off, it makes a slanted line that cuts through the rainbow at two points. create a table of at least four values for the function that includes two points of intersection between the airplane and the rainbow. analyze the two functions. answer the following reflection questions in complete sentences. what is the domain and range of the rainbow? explain what the domain and range represent. do all of the values make sense in this situation? why or why not? what are the x- and y-intercepts of the rainbow? explain what each intercept represents. is the linear function you created with your table positive or negative? explain. what are the solutions or solution to the system of equations created? explain what it or they represent. create your own piecewise function with at least two functions. explain, using complete sentences, the steps for graphing the function. graph the function by hand or using a graphing software of your choice (remember to submit the graph).
