It looks like you're given a question in slope intercept form.

Which is: y = mx + b, (m = slope and b = y-intercept)

Plug M and the point you know into the equation.

y = mx + b

8 = -3(2) + b

8 = -6 + b

14 = b

Now that you have your y-intercept, add that to the equation along with m, and what you know of the missing value (the point x, -4, you have the value of y, which is -4, so you're looking for the value of x)

-4 = -3x + 14

-18 = -3x

6 = x

So, your missing value is 6. I hope this was helpful and have a grreat rest of your day! ~ Saturns <3

One True Love? A survey that asked whether people agree or disagree with the statement ‘‘There is only one true love for each pe

Answer:

99% confidence interval for the proportion of people who disagree with the statement is [0.667 , 0.713].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a survey that asked whether people agree or disagree with the statement ‘‘There is only one true love for each person." has been conducted. The result is that 735 of the 2625 respondents agreed, 1812 disagreed, and 78 answered ‘‘don’t know."

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 99% confidence interval for the population proportion is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion of people who disagree with the statement = $\frac{1812}{2625}$ = 0.69

n = sample of respondents = 2625

p = population proportion of people who disagree with statement

Here for constructing 99% confidence interval we have used One-sample z proportion statistics.

So, 99% confidence interval for the population proportion, p is ;

P(-2.58 < N(0,1) < 2.58) = 0.99 {As the critical value of z at 0.5% level

of significance are -2.58 & 2.58}

P(-2.58 < $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < 2.58) = 0.99

P( $-2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < ${\hat p-p}$ < $2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.99

P( $\hat p-2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < p < $\hat p+2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.99

99% confidence interval for p = [ $\hat p-2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ , $\hat p+2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ]

= [ $0.69-2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.69(1-0.69)}{2625} } }$ , $0.69+2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.69(1-0.69)}{2625} } }$ ]
