The most appropriate inference procedure for the given investigation is;
A linear regression t-interval for the slope
What is the inferential statistic?
We are told that the slope of an horizontal line is zero and that there is no change in the y (dependent) variable when there is a change in the x-variable. Thus, we need to find the true relationship between the two variables, 'x', and 'y'.
The confidence interval of the slope is calculated and analyzed to find out if it excludes or includes, 0. Thus, if the confidence interval excludes 0, then, it is unlikely that the slope is 0 and therefore the relationship between the variables, 'x', and 'y' is significant
In conclusion, a linear regression t-interval for the slope is most appropriate inference procedure.
