Answer:

y = 2/7x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

You are trying to put it in the form y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

To start, find the slope by doing change in y (between the two points) divided by change in x (between the two points). This would be:

3 - (-3) (change in y) / 14 - (-7) (change in x)

= 6/21

= 2/7

So the slope is 2/7.

Then, you have the equation y = 2/7x + b.

Since you know the point (14, 3) works, you know x = 14 and y = 3 is a solution to the equation. You can plug in those values which would be:

3 = 2/7 * 14 + b

3 = 4 + b

-1 = b

So that means the equation is y = 2/7x - 1

A study of 4,430 U.S. adults found that 2,913 were obese or overweight. The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

$0.658 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.658(1-0.658)}{4430}}=0.644$

$0.658 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.658(1-0.658)}{4430}}=0.672$

We are 95% confident that the true proportion of adults overweight is between 0.644 and 0.672

Step-by-step explanation:

We can begin founding the estimated proportion of people overweight:

$\hat p =\frac{2913}{4430}= 0.658$

We need to find a critical value for the confidence level using the normal standard distribution. We know that 95% is the confidence level, then the significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ . And the critical value would be given by:
