The U.S. Bureau of the Census predicted that the population of Florida would be about 17.4 million in 2030 and then would increase by about 0.22 million per year until 2030. Which of the following linear models predicts the population, y, of Florida (in millions) in terms of x, the number of years since 2010. O y = 17.4x + 0.22 O y = -0.22x + 17.4 O y = 0.22x + 17.4 Oy = -17.4x + 0.22

Write down the fitted regression equation. If in the family, the primary caregiver is the biological mother, whose income is $50,000 and the youth live with the family most of the time. What predicted youth absent days in school?
The idea of a large, stable middle class (defined as those with annual household incomes in 2010 between $42,000 and $126,000 for a family of three), is central to America's sense of itself. But the U.S. middle class shrank steadily from 61% of all adults in 1971 (t = 0) to 51% in 2011 (t = 4), where t is measured in decades. Research has shown that this decline was approximately linear.† (a) Find a linear function f(t) giving the percentage of middle-income adults in decade t, where t = 0 corresponds to 1971. (b) If this trend continues, what will the percentage of middle-income adults be in 2041?
A biology student is investigating the claim that the temperature can be predicted by counting cricket chirps. She has found a linear regression equation T=42.2+0.21r, where T is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and r is the number of chirps per minute. What is the predicted temperature for 90 chirps per minute? 18.9 degrees 227.6 degrees 23.3 degrees 61.1 degrees
A well-known university is interested in how salary (in thousands of dollars) is predicted from years of service for faculty and administrative staff. Below are the estimated regression equations.Faculty (n = 170): ŷ = 60 + 1.1xAdmin.

A. Develop an estimated regression equation that can be used to predict the price of the stock based on the number of shares of company's stocks sold and the volume of exchange. B. Interpret the coefficients of the estimated regression equation that you found in Part a. C. If in a given day, the number of shares of the company that were sold was 94,500 and the volume of exchange on the New York Stock Exchange was 16 million, what would you expect the price of the stock to be?

In 2012, the CDC published data on the average weight of American female children by year. Using ages 1−7 of this data, researchers made a linear regression with age in years as the x variable and weight in pounds as the y variable. The equation of the line of best fit is yˆ=5.78x+17.56. According to the line of best fit, what would you predict the weight would be for a 14-year-old female? Is it reasonable to use this line of best fit to make this prediction?
