F. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the slope of this regression line.
(HintTo find t
for a value that doesn't appear in your table, use 7,QWHUYDO
LQWKHSTAT TESTS menu. Note that your calculator expects you to enter QWKHQ
calculates df = n 1. For this problem, however, your degrees of freedom
QHHGto equal n 2. How do you think you can work around this?)
G. Interpret the confidence interval (2.469, 1.7499) for the slope of the
regression line. (2 points)
