Answer:

Line JK passes through points J(-4,-5) and K(-6, 3).

Line JK has form of y = mx + b

=> -5 = -4m + b

=> 3 = -6m + b

Subtract 2nd equation from 1st equation:

=> -8 = 2m

=> m = -4

Substitute back m = -4 into 1st equation:

=> -5 = -4(-4) + b

=> b = -21

Hope this helps!

The minimum sample size required to construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean is 65.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population standard deviation,

$\sigma = 3.10\text{ milligrams}$

We need to construct a 95% confidence interval such that the estimate is within 0.75 milligrams of the population mean.

Thus, the margin of error must me 0.75

Formula for margin of error:

$z_{critical}\times \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = 1.96$

Putting values, we get,

$0.75 = 1.86\times \dfrac{3.10}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\\sqrt{n} = \dfrac{1.96\times 3.10}{0.75}\\\\\sqrt{n} = 8.101\\\Rightarrow n = 65.63\approx 65$

Thus, the minimum sample size required to construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean is 65.
