Answer:

Answer: y=2x+13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Your input: find the equation of the line perpendicular to the line y=5/2−x/2 passing through the point (−4,5).

The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is y=5/2−x/2.

The slope of the perpendicular line is negative inverse: m=2.

So, the equation of the perpendicular line is y=2x+a.

To find a, we use the fact that the line should pass through the given point: 5=(2)⋅(−4)+a.

Thus, a=13.

Therefore, the equation of the line is y=2x+13.

Answer: y=2x+13.

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

Solution to the problem

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ . And the critical value would be given by:
