Answer:
y = 3x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is linear and expressed in slope- intercept form
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Given (0, - 2 ) then c = - 2
Calculate the multiplier using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1,1) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table
m = = 3, hence
y = 3x - 2 ← equation relating x and y

I have an expression
floating around in my head; let's see if it makes sense.
The variance of binary valued random variable b that comes up 1 with probability p (so has mean p) is
That's for an individual sample. For the observed average we divide by n, and for the standard deviation we take the square root:
Plugging in the numbers,
One standard deviation of the average is almost 2% so a 27% outcome was 3/1.9 = 1.6 standard deviations from the mean, corresponding to a two sided probability of a bit bigger than 10% of happening by chance.
So this is borderline suspect; most surveys will include a two sigma margin of error, say plus or minus 4 percent here, and the results were within those bounds.
