Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

The line passes through the y-axis at the point (0, -5). So, -5 is the y-intercept.

We can use the points (0, -5) and (5, 0) to solve.

Slope formula: y2-y2/x2-x1

0-(-5)/5-0)

5/5

The slope is 1.

Substitute these values into the equation.

y = 1x + (-5)

y = x - 5

Therefore, the answer is [ y = x - 5 ]

Best of Luck!

Answer:

$163.83-4.03\frac{20.094}{\sqrt{6}}=130.77$

$163.83+4.03\frac{20.094}{\sqrt{6}}=196.89$

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (130.77;196.89)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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".

Data: 175 177 175 180 138 138

We can calculate the mean and the deviation from these data with the following formulas:

$\bar X= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i}{n}$

$s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

$\bar X=163.83$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=20.093 represent the sample standard deviation

n=6 represent the sample size

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=6-1=5$

Since the Confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of $\alpha=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.005,5)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=4.03$
