Statisics Question Help Please
Confidence interval using proportions: CI95 = p + or - (1.96)(√pq/n) ...where + or - 1.96 represents 95% confidence using a z-table. Note: p = 55/450 (convert to a decimal); q = 1 - p; and n = 450 (sample size). I'll let you take it from here.

Use a proportional confidence interval formula: CI95 = p + or - (1.96)(√pq/n) Note: + or - 1.96 represents 95% confidence interval. For p in your problem: .42 For q: 1 - p = 1 - .42 = .58 n = 1500 I let you take it from here to calculate the interval.

i think this is the answer 2m^2+10n-4n^3+9=95 2(-5)^2+10(-2)-4(-2)^3+9=95 2(25)-20-4(-8)+9=95 50-20+32+9=95 30+41=95 71=95 95-71=24 i hope it was helpful
