The equation of line with slope 2/3 and crosses the y axis at (0, -5) is:

$y=\frac{2}{3}x-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the slope intercept form of the equation to make an equation of the given line

The slope-intercept form is:

$y=mx+b$

Here m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Given

m = 2/3

Putting the value of slope

$y=\frac{2}{3}x+b$

The y intercept is -5 so we will put in the equation

$y=\frac{2}{3}x-5$

The equation of line with slope 2/3 and crosses the y axis at (0, -5) is:

$y=\frac{2}{3}x-5$

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

$n=(\frac{1.64(14.7)}{3})^2 =64.57 \approx 65$

So the answer for this case would be n=65 rounded up to the nearest integer

And the sample size would decrease by 160-65=95 subjects

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 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".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size

ME represent the margin of error

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

2) Solution to the problem

Since the new Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of $\alpha=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.05,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.64$
