Step-by-step explanation:

Does the rate of change equal for each.
take the output difference and divide by the input distance
1st -5/10 = -1/2
2nd -1/2
3rd -5/10.= -1/2
Answer: a) (1008.34,1019.658) b) (1009.24,1018.76)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
n = 75
mean = 1014 hours
Standard deviation = 25 hours
At 95% two sided , z = 1.96
So, confidence interval would be

(b) Construct a 95% lower confidence bound on the mean life.
z = 1.65
So, confidence interval would be

Hence, a) (1008.34,1019.658) b) (1009.24,1018.76)
2. y=2x+3
When x =0 and y= something, the 'something' is your y-intercept which is b in the y=mx+b formula. Then we look at what is changed in the x and y value to determine the m part. the x increase by 1 and y increase by 2 so the m part is 2.
3. y=-7x
Same as the last one, there is no y-inter this time because the y=0 when x=0/ So the y deceased by 7 each time and x incease by 1 so it is -7 for the m part.
