Misty correctly determined the equation of the linear function represented by the table of values below to be y = negative 2 x + 9 in slope-intercept form by using the ordered pairs (1, 7) and (2, 5). x

What would she have gotten for the equation of the linear function if she had used the ordered pairs (2, 5) and (4, 1) instead?
y = negative 4 x + 9
y = negative 4 x + 18
y = negative 2 x + 9
y = negative 2 x + 18

An automobile assembly line operation has a scheduled mean completion time, μ, of 12 minutes. the standard deviation of completion times is 1.6 minutes. it is claimed that, under new management, the mean completion time has decreased. to test this claim, a random sample of 33 completion times under new management was taken. the sample had a mean of 11.2 minutes. assume that the population is normally distributed. can we support, at the 0.05 level of significance, the claim that the mean completion time has decreased under new management? assume that the standard deviation of completion times has not changed.
