2pts) a market research firm supplies manufacturers with estimates of the retail sales of their products from samples of retail stores. marketing managers are prone to look at the estimate and ignore sampling error. a random sample of 36 stores this year shows mean sales of 67 units of a small appliance with a standard deviation of 6 units. during the same point in time last year, a random sample of 49 stores had mean sales of 73 units with standard deviation 10 units. it is of interest to construct a 95 percent confidence interval for the difference in population means μ1−μ2, where μ1 is the mean of this year's sales and μ2 is the mean of last year's sales. enter values below rounded to three decimal places. (a) the estimate is: . (b) the standard error is: .

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )

y = 3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope

slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (-8-4)/ (-4-0)

    = -12/-4

  = 3

using the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b

we know the slope is 3

we know the y intercept is 4 ( the point where it crosses the y axis or x=0)

y = 3x+4
