Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (8-2)/(3-1) = 6/2 = 3. So the answer is c.

Answer: m=3

Step-by-step explanation: Slope is equal to the change in y over the change in x, or rise over run. The change in x is equal to the difference in x-coordinates (also called run), and the change in y is equal to the difference in y-coordinates (also called rise). The formula to solve this is m=y2-y1/x2-x1. then you substitute in the values of x and y into the equation to find the slope. now your problem should look like this... m=8-(2)/3-(1)... Then you simplify. simplify both numerator and denominator which should leave you with... m=6/2... then you just divide and get m=3

Answer:

a) With a confidence level of 98%, the percentage of all males who identify themselves as the primary grocery shopper are between 0.4962 and 0.5438.

b) The lower limit of the confidence interval is higher that 0.43, so if he conduct a hypothesis test, he will find that the data shows evidence to said that the fraction is higher than 43%.

c) $\alpha =1-0.98=0.02$

Step-by-step explanation:

If np' and n(1-p') are higher than 5, a confidence interval for the proportion is calculated as:

$p'-z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }\leq p\leq p'+z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }$

Where p' is the proportion of the sample, n is the size of the sample, p is the proportion of the population and $z_{\alpha/2}$ is the z-value that let a probability of $\alpha/2$ on the right tail.

Then, a 98% confidence interval for the percentage of all males who identify themselves as the primary grocery shopper can be calculated replacing p' by 0.52, n by 2400, $\alpha$ by 0.02 and $z_{\alpha/2}$ by 2.33

Where p' and $\alpha$ are calculated as:

$p' = \frac{1248}{2400}=0.52\\\alpha =1-0.98=0.02$

So, replacing the values we get:

$0.52-2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.52(1-0.52)}{2400} }\leq p\leq 0.52+2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.52(1-0.52)}{2400} }\\0.52-0.0238\leq p\leq 0.52+0.0238\\0.4962\leq p\leq 0.5438$

With a confidence level of 98%, the percentage of all males who identify themselves as the primary grocery shopper are between 0.4962 and 0.5438.

The lower limit of the confidence interval is higher that 0.43, so if he conduct a hypothesis test, he will find that the data shows evidence to said that the fraction is higher than 43%.

Finally, the level of significance is the probability to reject the null hypothesis given that the null hypothesis is true. It is also the complement of the level of confidence. So, if we create a 98% confidence interval, the level of confidence $1-\alpha$ is equal to 98%
