The slope of the line is -2
Answer:
The marginal error is 2.355
Confidence interval is 
The LB and UB are 34.645 and 39.3555 respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
n = 49, s = 8.2 c = 95%and 
Degree of freedom is: n-1 = 49-1 = 48.

From the table 
Marginal error is:





Hence, the marginal error is 2.355.
Part (B)
95% confidence interval estimate



Thus, the LB and UB are 34.645 and 39.3555 respectively.
Given that an empty box weighs 2 and 1/4 pounds.
Weight of the fruit is 16 and 2/3 pounds.
Weight of filled box means total weight of box and the fruit.
So we will add both values.
2 and 1/4 pounds+ 16 and 2/3 pounds
= 2 + 1/4 + 16 + 2/3 pounds
= 2 + 16 + 1/4 + 2/3 pounds
= 18 + 1/4 + 2/3 pounds





Hence final answer is 18 and 11/12 pounds.
