Answer: Choice B</h3>
No, this is not a plausible value for the population mean, because 5 is not within the 95% confidence interval.
====================================================
Explanation:
The greek letter mu is the population mean. It has the symbol 
which looks like the letter 'u' but with a tail at the front or left side.
The question is asking if mu = 5 is plausible if the researcher found the 95% confidence interval to be 5.2 < mu < 7.8
We see that 5 is <u>not</u> in that interval. It's a bit to the left of 5.2
Since mu = 5 is not in the interval, it's not a plausible value for the population mean.
Have we ruled it out with 100% confidence? No. Such a thing is not possible. There's always room for (slight) error. The researcher would need to do a census to be fully confident; however, such practices are very time consuming and expensive. This is the main reason why statistics is important to try to estimate the population with a sample.
A theorem is defined as an existing fact that was proved to be correct through experimentation or mathematical reasoning. In this case, we can say that a theorem can be proven by geometric proof as it is required for people to consider it as a fact. Answer is true.
The equation of best fit is y = (-22/5)x + 10.
What is an equation of a line?
The equation of a line is given by:
y = mx + c where m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept.
Example:
The slope of the line y = 2x + 3 is 2.
The slope of a line that passes through (1, 2) and (2, 3) is 1.
We have,
The following coordinates are given:
Pick two coordinates.
(0, 10) and (25, -100)
The equation of best fit.
y = mx + c
Now,
m = (-100 - 10) / (25 - 0)
m = -110 / 25
m = -22/5
Now,
(0, 10) = (x, y)
10 = (-22/5) x 0 + c
c = 10
Now,
y = mx + c
y = (-22/5)x + 10
Thus,
Using the coordinates the equation of best fit is y = (-22/5)x + 10.
