Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

![### Understanding Confidence Intervals in Real-World Measurements
An article reported data from a study on gas cooking appliances in 45 different kitchens. In this study, the carbon dioxide (CO2) levels were monitored over one week. Here, we'll walk through calculating and interpreting a 95% confidence interval for the true average CO2 level in the population.
#### Study Details:
- **Sample size (n):** 45 kitchens
- **Sample Mean CO2 level:** 654.16 ppm
- **Sample Standard Deviation (s):** 165.23 ppm
### Step-by-Step Calculation:
#### (a) Calculate and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the true average CO2 level:
- **Formula Used:** The confidence interval can be calculated using the formula:
\[ \bar{x} \pm t^* \left(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\right) \]
Where:
- \( \bar{x} \) = sample mean
- \( t^* \) = t-multiplier from the t-distribution for 95% confidence
- \( s \) = sample standard deviation
- \( n \) = sample size
- **Determine the Interval:**
- Enter values in the provided fields as calculated.
- Round answers to two decimal places.
##### **Interpretation:**
- Select the statement: "We are 95% confident that this interval contains the true population mean."
- This means if we were to take many samples and create intervals, 95% would contain the true population mean.
#### (b) Considering Sample Size:
- **Scenario:** If investigators guessed \( s = 177 \) before data collection,
- **Goal:** Determine sample size for an interval width of 52 ppm at 95% confidence.
- **Calculation Tip:** Use the formula involving desired width to find the necessary sample size.
**Input:**
- Fill in the box with the calculated number of kitchens needed.
This educational exercise exemplifies how statistical methods can help us estimate averages and make informed decisions based on data.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fc32f563a-6b55-4123-a4c3-1254c39a7403%2F838f7fff-c878-46e5-a4d0-52565f0901db%2Fwb74zhx_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
