Answer:

y = $\frac{4}{5}$ x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 5, - 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 1)

m = $\frac{1+7}{5+5}$ = $\frac{8}{10}$ = $\frac{4}{5}$ , thus

y = $\frac{4}{5}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (5, 1), then

1 = 4 + c ⇒ c = 1 - 4 = - 3

y = $\frac{4}{5}$ x - 3 ← equation of line

Answer:

The required sample size for the new study is 801.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

25% of all adults had used the Internet for such a purpose

This means that $\pi = 0.25$

95% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.05$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975$ , so $Z = 1.96$ .

What is the required sample size for the new study?

This is n for which M = 0.03. So

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.03 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.25*0.75)}{n}}$

$0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.25*0.75}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.25*0.75}}{0.03}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.25*0.75}}{0.03})^2$

$n = 800.3$

Rounding up:

The required sample size for the new study is 801.
