According to the Social Security Advisory Board, the number of workers per beneficiary of the Social Security program was 3.3 in 1996 and is projected to decline by 1.46% each year through 2030.(a) Find the function for the model that gives the number of workers per beneficiary, where x is the number of years from 1996, with data from 0 s x s 34W(x)(b) What does the model predict the number of workers per beneficiary will be in 2020? (Round your answers to three decimal places when appropriate.)workers

Calculation:a)From the given, it is observed that the initial value is 3.3 and the constant…

An engineer creates a model to predict the electric consumption of a household in summer in a day with a predictor variable of the number of hours the air-conditioner is running. The electric consumption is only at 23 kWh per day if aircon is not used. If the aircon was used by 1 hr, the electric consumption would increase by an additional 1.55 kWh. Find the average electric consumption if the aircon is used 17 hrs.
Contains data on brain mass in different species versus glia-neuron ratio, the latter being a measurement of brain metabolism as the glia provides the metabolic needs of the neurons. The relationship between THE LOGARITHM of the brain mass (in the third column) and Glia-neuron ratio (fourth column) appears linear and it is these two variables that we wish to analyze via linear regression. We would like to know if the human brain fits the trend from the other species. Towards this end we will perform the regression on all species EXCEPT humans (Homo sapiens). Again, throw out the human data from your analysis. You will however need the human numbers for some of the questions. The analysis to be performed is as follows: 1. Calculate the regression line (slope and intercept) 2. Perform an ANOVA test of the null hypothesis for zero slope. From this analysis, obtain SStotal, SSregression and SSresidual as well as the corresponding MS statistics. 3. Perform a t-test of the null…
