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
