For a
95% CI under a t distribution with df 14, we use t* =
2.145.
m = t*SEb = 2.131 * 0.008741 ≈ 0.0187

CI for the slope b
is: b ±
t*SEb = 0.0722 ± 0.0187 ≈ 5.4% to

We are 95% confident that somewhere between
5.4% and 9.1%
of the people diagnosed one week with the flu died of its
complications the next week during the 1918 epidemic.
