Check Condition

Linear

The form of the relationship between x and y is linear. For each value of x, the mean value of y (denoted by ) falls on the population regression line

Normal

For each value of x, the distribution of y is approximately normal

Equal SD

For each value of x, the standard deviation of y (denoted by ) is the same

Random

The data come from a random sample from the population of interest or a randomized experiment

t - test for slope

State

We use a t-interval for (slope of population regression line) to construct a
Let be the miles driven, let be the price.
90% of the slope of the popuation regression line relating y = price to x = miles driven for used
