Answer:

Use the two ordered pairs to find the slope, <u>m</u>.

Then substitute <u>one set of ordered pairs</u> and <u>m</u> into y = mx + b to solve for <u>b</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are given two ordered pairs of a function and we need to write an equation that represents the linear function, first, what we need to do is to use the two ordered pair to find the slope, m, using the formula, m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}.

After getting the slope (m), find the value of the y-intercept (b), by substituting the value of one of the ordered pairs and the slope value (m) into y = mx + b.

Once the value of m and b is known, plug in the value of m and b into y = mx + b to derive the equation of the linear function.

What happens to the width of a confidence interval for a population mean if the level of confidence is increased without changin
natulia [17]

Answer: If the level of confidence is increased without changing the sample size then<em> </em><u><em>The margin of error will decrease because the critical value will decrease. The decreased margin of error will cause the confidence interval to be narrower.</em></u>

where;

<em>Margin of error = Critical value × Standard deviation</em>

<em>Here, it can be duly noted that Margin of error has a positive relation with critical value, i.e </em><u><em>The margin of error will decrease because the critical value will decrease.</em></u>

<u><em>whereas;</em></u>

The confidence interval is  <em>the value  ±  the margin of error.</em>

<em>Therefore, </em><u><em>the decreased margin of error will cause the confidence interval to be narrower.</em></u>
