Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Number of muffins Diana sold at the bake sale = 336
Number of muffins Bob sold at the bake sale = 287
Now, here we are using the method of estimation i.e. rounding the integers to nearest ones.
By estimation, we get
Number of muffins Diana sold at the bake sale = 340
Number of muffins Bob sold at the bake sale = 290
So,
Difference between them is given by
Hence, Bob sold 50 fewer muffins than Diana.

Answer:
Z-score 1.96
Margin of error d= 0.04323
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
The study variable in this case is
X: Number of people that oppose the use of photo-cop for issuing traffic tickets in a sample of 500.
n= 500
The parameter of interest is the proportion of people that opposes it.
The estimated proportion is p'= 300/500= 0.6
To estimate the population proportion per Confidence interval you have to approximate the distribution of the sample proportion p' to normal:
p'≈N(p;p(1-p)1/n)
The mean of this distribution is p and the variance is p*(1-p)*1/n
To construct the Confidence interval, since the value of the population proportion is unknown, an estimated variance is used:
p'(1-p')*1/n ⇒ then the estimated standard error is √(p'(1-p')*1/n)
The formula for the confidence interval is:
p' ± *
Where " *
" represents the margin of error of the interval.
Now for a confidence level of 0.95 the value of Z is
The estimated standard error is already calculated:
The margin of error (d) is then:
d= *
= 1.965 * 0.022
d= 0.04323
I hope it helps!
