$(0.1875-0.274) - 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.1875(1-0.1875)}{400} +\frac{0.274(1-0.274)}{500}}=-0.1412$

$(0.1875-0.274) + 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.1875(1-0.1875)}{400} +\frac{0.274(1-0.274)}{500}}=-0.0318$

And the upper limit would be -0.0318

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete question :A study was recently conducted at a major university to estimate the difference in the proportion of business school graduates who go on to graduate school within five years after graduation and the proportion of non-business school graduates who attend graduate school. A random sample of 400 business school graduates showed that 75 had gone to graduate school while in a random sample of 500 non-business graduates, 137 had gone on to graduate school. Based on a 95 percent confidence level, what is the upper limit of the confidence interval estimate?

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

p_A represent the real population proportion for graduate school

$\hat p_A =\frac{75}{400}=0.1875$ represent the estimated proportion for graduate school

n_A=400 is the sample size required for graduate school

p_B represent the real population proportion for non graduate school

$\hat p_B =\frac{137}{500}=0.274$ represent the estimated proportion for non graduate school

n_B=500 is the sample size required for non graduate school

represent the critical value for the margin of error

Solution to the problem

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

The confidence interval for the difference of two proportions would be given by this formula

$(\hat p_A -\hat p_B) \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p_A(1-\hat p_A)}{n_A} +\frac{\hat p_B (1-\hat p_B)}{n_B}}$

For the 95% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2=0.025$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

$(0.1875-0.274) - 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.1875(1-0.1875)}{400} +\frac{0.274(1-0.274)}{500}}=-0.1412$

$(0.1875-0.274) + 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.1875(1-0.1875)}{400} +\frac{0.274(1-0.274)}{500}}=-0.0318$

And the upper limit would be -0.0318

intensity of the vector is v= √37 ≈ 6.08 units and make angle ∡α ≈ 9.46° with east direction

step-by-step explanation:

required vector is consists of the two componentsvx= 2+4=6 units and vy= 1 unit and vx ⊥ vywe will use pythagorian theorem to find intensity of the vector vv∧2 = vx∧2 + vy∧2 => v = √vx∧2 + vy∧2 = √6∧2 + 1∧2 = √36+1 = √37 ≈ 6.08 unitsthe angle ∡α between vector and east direction we wil find with tanαtanα = 1/6 => α = arc tanα = arc 1/6 => α ≈ 9.46°

hope this
