1. Suppose that an equation for infant mortality is described by the function: i-Yo (1) where i is the infant mortality rate (expressed in per 1,000 children), Y is the gross domestic product (in US dollars), P is the population, and B and b are constants. d. Assume that b = 492.7 and 3 = 0.2. Derive a specific linear equation on the relationship of i and y from the linear equation in (a). Interpret the slope coefficient. Using the equation in (d), compute for the infant mortality rate given that a GDP per capita of $3,650 and of $4, 100. e. f. If GDP per capita GDP increases from $3, 650 to $4, 100, estimate the percent change in infant mortality rate by using the computed values in (e). g. If GDP per capita increases from $3, 650 to $4, 100, estimate the percent change in infant mortality by using the elasticity in the equation in (d). Compare this result to that in (f).

The table shows the yield (in bushels per acre) and the total production (in millions of bushels) for corn in a country for selected years since 1950. Let x represent years since 1900. Find a logarithmic regression model (y = a + b In x) for the yield. Estimate the yield in 2029. The regression model is y=+()Inx.

Suppose the relationship between the government's tax revenue (T) and national income (Y) is represented by the equation T = 30 +0.5Y. Plot this relationship on a scale diagram, with Y on the horizontal axis and T on the vertical axis. Interpret the equation. Use the line drawing tool to draw the equation. Make sure to plot the vertical axis as one endpoint of the line. Properly label this line. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects.

The number of pending corporate fraud cases in federal court stood at 545 at the beginning of 2008 (t = 0). The number of cases had grown to 726 at the beginning of 2012. Assume the growth has been approximately linear. Develop the equation of the line that describes this linear growth. Then use that linear equation to estimate the number of cases pending at the beginning of 2014, assuming that the linear growth continues at the same rate.
