Market supply The following table shows the quantity S of wheat, in billions of bushels, that wheat supplies are willing to produce in a year and offer for sale at a price P, in dollars per bushel. S = quantity of wheat P = price 1.0 1.35 1.5 2.40 2.0 3.45 2.5 4.50 In economics, it is customary to plot S on the horizontal axis and P on the vertical axis, so we will think of S as a variable and of P as a function of S. a. Show that these data can be modeled by a linear function, and find its formula. b. Make a graph of the linear formula you found in part a. This is called the market supply curve. c. Explain why the market supply curve should be increasing. Hint: Think about what should happen when the price increases. d. How much wheat would suppliers be willing to produce in a year and offer for sale at a price of 3.90 per bushel?
Employee Turnover The percentage of employees who cease their employment during a year is referred to as employee turnover, and it is a serious issue for businesses. The following table shows the cost, in millions of dollars, to Walmart for a given employee turnover percentage in a year.13 E = employee turnover 10 20 30 40 C = cost 250 400 550 700 a. Show that the data can be modeled by a linear function. b. Find the slope of the linear function. c. Find a linear model for the data. d. Use the result from part c to find the cost to Walmart if employee turnover is 33 in a year.
Demand for Candy Bars In this problem you will determine a linear demand equation that describes the demand for candy bars in your class. Survey your classmates to determine what price they would be willing to pay for a candy bar. Your survey form might look like the sample to the left. a Make a table of the number of respondents who answered yes at each price level. b Make a scatter plot of your data. c Find and graph the regression line y=mp+b, which gives the number of respondents y who would buy a candy bar if the price were p cents. This is the demand equation. Why is the slope m negative? d What is the p-intercept of the demand equation? What does this intercept tell you about pricing candy bars? Would you buy a candy bar from the vending machine in the hallway if the price is as indicated. Price Yes or No 50 75 1.00 1.25 1.50 1.75 2.00
Visualize that two tributaries A and B at their confluence form a river C. Statistical properties of flow data for tributaries A and B indicate that tributary A has a yearly discharge rate smaller than its mean flow rate (?̅?) in 50% of the years while tributary B has a yearly discharge rate smaller than its mean flow rate (?̅?) in 60% of the time. In 70% of the years in which tributary A has a discharge rate smaller than its mean discharge rate (?̅?), tributary B also has a discharge rate smaller than its mean discharge rate (?̅?). Compute the probability that (i) both tributaries have a discharge rate smaller than their mean discharge rates, (ii) at least one tributary has a discharge rate smaller than its mean discharge rate, (iii) tributary A has a discharge rate smaller than its mean discharge rate given that tributary B has a discharge rate smaller than its mean discharge rate, (iv) at least one tributary has discharge rate higher than its mean discharge rate, and (v) probability…

The cost of car insurance increases depending on each speeding ticket and accident a driver has accumulate on driving record what is the independent variable for the situation
In this example we use the typical sales price of homes in a random sample of US counties (recorded with units as $1000 per square foot) to predict the typical rental cost in the county (in units of $ per square foot). y: The typical Rental Cost in the county (units: $ per square foot). x: The typical sales price of properties in the county (units: $1000 per square foot). Assume we compare counties A and B. County A has a typical sales price of properties at $258 per square foot higher than county B. Assume the regression equation is ŷ = 0.5 +2.2x. This model would predict the Rental cost in county A to be. $ per square foot higher than the rental cost in county B. Record your answer with at least 3 decimal places. You should really carefully consider the units for this problem. 567.6 A calculation to report a predicted change in y for a given change in x should not require using the intercept as part of the calculation. Based on the interpretation of the slope an additional $1000…

The data seem to explode as x increases.Yes. A straight line does not fit the data well. The data seem to explode as x increases. No. A straight line does not fit the data well. The data does not seem to explode as x increases.Yes. A straight line seems to fit the data well. The data seem to explode as x increases. (b) Now consider a transformation y' = log (y). We are using common logarithms of base 10. Draw a scatter diagram of the (x, y') data pairs and compare this diagram with the diagram of part (a). Which graph appears to better fit a straight line?

A company that focuses on research and development (R&D) is interested in the relationship between profit and some variables that can explain profit variations. They want to predict the profits of some new and exciting projects because some are risky. The predictor variables considered are: RISK which is a company derived metric, R&D which is the research and development costs, REGION (WC, EC and KZN) and average per capita income (INCOME in R1000.00). The analyst decides to estimate the regression function with the following response function. Ý (profit) = bo + b₁XRisk + b₂XR&D + b3Xwc + b4Xec + b5XINC Answer the following questions. 4.1. The analyst considered the fact that the effects of multicollinearity may influence some analytical and visual conclusions. Use the following results to show the process of establishing by using extra sums of squares whether there is that multicollinearity present or not. Explain and interpret in detail. SSR(X) = 2573.72, SSR(X₁) = 2600.7, SSR(X₂|…
