In a study on speed and braking distance, researchers looked for a method to estimate how fast a person was traveling before an accident by measuring the length of the skid marks. An area that was focused on in the study was the distance required to completely stop a vehicle at various speeds. Use the following table to answer the questions. MPG Braking distance (feet) 20 20 30 45 40 81 50 133 60 205 80 411 (a). Find the linear regression equation. (b). Find the MPG when the braking distance is 100.

The authors of an article found that the speed of a prey (twips/s) and the length of a prey (twips ✕ 100) are good predictors of the time (seconds) required to catch the prey. (A twip is a measure of distance used by programmers.) Data were collected in an experiment in which subjects were asked to "catch" an animal of prey moving across his or her computer screen by clicking on it with the mouse. The investigators varied the length of the prey and the speed with which the prey moved across the screen. The following data are consistent with summary values and a graph given in the article. Each value represents the average catch time over all subjects. The order of the various speed-length combinations was randomized for each subject. Prey Length Prey Speed Catch Time 7 20 1.11 6 20 1.20 5 20 1.24 4 20 1.40 3 20 1.50 3 40 1.41 4 40 1.35 6 40 1.31 7 40 1.28 7 80 1.40 6 60 1.39 5 80 1.40 7 100 1.42 6 100 1.42 7 120 1.69 5 80 1.49 3 80 1.41 6 100 1.49…
