The slope of the line x=1 does not exist. Because there are no tow points with different x values on the line.
It is not defined.
This case is not includes in the definition of slope.

The manager of Petco, a nationwide chain of pet supply stores, wants to study characteristics of the customers, particularly the

shutvik [7]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval would be given by (19.141;23.538)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 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".

$\bar X=21.34$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=9.22 represent the sample standard deviation

n=70 represent the sample size

2) Confidence interval

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:

$df=n-1=70-1=69$

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,69)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=1.994$
