The equation of line perpendicular to 4y = x-8 passing through (3,-3) is:

$y = -4x+9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of line is:

$4y=x-8$

We have to convert the given line in slope-intercept form to find the slope of the line

So,

Dividing both sides by 4

$\frac{4y}{4} =\frac{x-8}{4}\\y = \frac{1}{4}x-\frac{8}{4}\\y = \frac{1}{4}x-2$

Let m1 be the slope of given line

Then

$m_1 = \frac{1}{4}\\$

Let m2 be the slope of line perpendicular to given line

As we know that produt of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1

$m_1.m_2 = -1\\\frac{1}{4} . m_2 = -1\\m_2 = -1*4\\m_2 = -4$

The slope intercept form of line is given by:

$y = m_2x+b$

Putting the value of slope

$y = -4x+b$

to find the value of b, putting (3,-3) in equation

$-3 = (-4)(3) + b\\-3 = -12 +b\\b = -3+12\\b = 9$

Putting the value of b in the equation

$y = -4x+9$

Hence,

The equation of line perpendicular to 4y = x-8 passing through (3,-3) is:

$y = -4x+9$

Answer:

$39-1.96\frac{1}{\sqrt{25}}=38.608$

$39+1.96\frac{1}{\sqrt{25}}=39.392$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (38.608;39.392)

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".

$\bar X=39$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=1$ represent the population standard deviation

n=25 represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

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

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

The margin of error is given by:

$ME= z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

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 tabel to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$
