Solving for y, we add 5y to both sides and subtract 4, getting 9x-4=5y. Dividing both sides by 5, we get 9x/5-4/5=y. Since the slope is 9/5 (since 9/5*x=9x/5), we multiply it by -1 and find the reciprocal of it to get -5/9 as the perpendicular slope, so -5x/9+b=y. Plugging 1 in for x and -6 in for y, we get -5*1/9+b=-6 and by adding 5/9 to both sides we get -5-4/9=b , and since in y=mx+b y and x are variables, we end up with y=-5x/9+(-5-4/9) for slope intercept form.

To get it into standard form, we need it in ay+cx=b with a, b, and c being constants. Adding 5x/9 to both sides, we end up with y+5x/9=(-5-4/9) for standard form

Answer:

The decision rule is

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

There is no sufficient evidence to show that the designer's claim of a better shoe is supported by the trial results.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The population mean is $\mu = 15 \ months$

The sample size is n = 25

The sample mean is $\= x = 17 \ months$

The standard deviation is $s = 5.5 \ months$

Let assume the level of significance of this test is $\alpha = 0.05$

The null hypothesis is $H_o : \mu = 15$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : \mu > 17$

Generally the degree of freedom is mathematically represented as

$df = n -1$

=> $df = 25 -1$

=> $df = 24$

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{\= x- \mu }{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$

=> $t = \frac{ 17 - 15 }{\frac{5.5}{\sqrt{25} } }$

=> $t = 1.8182$

Generally from the student t distribution table the probability of obtaining $t = 1.8182$ to the right of the curve at a degree of freedom of $df = 24$ is

$p-value = P(t > 0.18182 ) = 0.4286$
