Answer:
95% confidence interval for the mean number of months is between a lower limit of 6.67 months and an upper limit of 25.73 months.
Step-by-step explanation:
Confidence interval is given as mean +/- margin of error (E)
Data: 5, 15, 12, 22, 27
mean = (5+15+12+22+27)/5 = 81/5 = 16.2 months
sd = sqrt[((5-16.2)^2 + (15-16.2)^2 + (12-16.2)^2 + (22-16.2)^2 + (27-16.2)^2) ÷ 5] = sqrt(58.96) = 7.68 months
n = 5
degree of freedom = n-1 = 5-1 = 4
confidence level (C) = 95% = 0.95
significance level = 1 - C = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05 = 5%
critical value (t) corresponding to 4 degrees of freedom and 5% significance level is 2.776
E = t×sd/√n = 2.776×7.68/√5 = 9.53 months
Lower limit of mean = mean - E = 16.2 - 9.53 = 6.67 months
Upper limit of mean = mean + E = 16.2 + 9.53 = 25.73 months
95% confidence interval is (6.67, 25.73)
First find the slope
the slope of the line that passes through (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
given
(-4,3) and (6,-2)
the slope is (-2-3)/(6-(-4))=(-5)/(6+4)=-5/10=-1/2
so
the equation of a line tat passes through the point (x1,y1) and has a slope of m is
y-y1=m(x-x1)
use (-4,3)
and we found slope=-1/2
y-3=-1/2(x-(-4))
y-3=-1/2(x+4)
if yo want slope intercept form
y-3=-1/2x-2
y=-1/2x+1
if yo want standard form
1/2x+y=1
x+2y=2
Answer: -60
Step by step
5 (2 - 9) -25
Start by distributing which will give you
10 - 45 - 25
Combine your like terms giving you
-60
