The US Department of Health conducted a survey for the years 1985-2018 regarding the use of cigarettes. Data from those years indicate that the linear function y = −0.47x + 47.1 gives an estimate of the 18-25 age group using cigarettes. The variable x represents the number of years since 1985 and y represents the percentage of 18-25 year old individuals using cigarettes. Explain what the −0.47 represents in terms of time and the percentage of 18-25 year old individuals using cigarette

How do you describe the percentage of Republicans in the House of Representatives that increased from 40.9 % in 2010 to 55.6% in 2012 in an absolute change in terms of percentage points and a a relative change in terms of a percentage?
Jenya graphed a scatter plot of the number of potholes (y) and the length of a road in miles (x). She drew the trend line and calculated its equation to be у 3 3х + 5. What is the predicted number of potholes for a road that is 10 miles long?
Data was collected for a regression analysis where sleep quality (as a percentage) depends on the amount of caffeine consumed in a day (measured in mg). b0 was found to be 92.7, b1 was found to be -0.76, and R2 was found to be 0.86. Interpret the slope of the line. On average, when x=0, a person has a sleep quality of -0.76%. On average, each one mg increase in caffeine consumed decreases a person's sleep quality by 0.76%. On average, each one mg increase in caffeine consumed increases a person's sleep quality by 92.7%. On average, when x=0, a person has a sleep quality of 92.7%. We should not interpret the slope in this problem. We should interpret the slope in this problem, but none of the above are correct.
The following table shows the average GPA for a high school graduating class for the last 4 years. A) what is the slope of the linear function modelingg the average GPA over this period B) explain what this means Grad year: 2016| 2017| 2018| 2019 Avg gpa : 2.35| 2.50| 2.65| 2.80
Medical records indicate that people with more education tend to live longer; the correlation is 0.82. The slope of the linear model that predicts lifespan from years of education suggests that on average people, tend to live 1.3 extra years for each additional year of education they have. The slope of the line that would predict lifespan from years of education is a. 130 b. 1.3 c. 82 d. 0.82
Your teacher surveyed the class to determine the number of hours that each student spent on social media. Your teacher created a table and scatterplot graph that displayed the number of hours, x, and the average final grade percentage, y, based on the hours. Using the equation of the trend line of the data, y=–7.2x+98.9, predict the average final grade percentage, to the nearest whole number, if a student spent 10 hours on social media.(1 point) Responses The average final grade is 27% if a student spent 10 hours on social media. The average final grade is 27% if a student spent 10 hours on social media. The average final grade is 99% if a student spent 10 hours on social media. The average final grade is 99% if a student spent 10 hours on social media. The average final grade is 7.2 if a student spent 10 hours on social media. The average final grade is 7.2 if a student spent 10 hours on social media. The average final grade is 92% if a student spent 10 hours…
Assume that the data can be modeled by a straight line and that the trend continues indefinitely. Use two data points to find such a line and then answer the question. Suppose a baseball is thrown at 82 miles per hour. The ball will travel 296 feet when hit by a bat swung at 52 miles per hour and will travel 392 feet when hit by a bat swung at 84 miles per hour. Let y be the number of feet traveled by the ball when hit by a bat swung at x miles per hour. How much farther will a ball travel for each mile-per-hour increase in the speed of the bat? A ball will travel feet farther for each mile-per-hour increase in the speed of the bat. (Type a whole number.)
Analysis of the relationship between the fuel economy (combinedMPG) and displacement (in liters) for 1262 models of cars produces the regression model combinedMPH = 33.472 - 3.317Displacement. Explain what the slope means.
Janet is studying the relationship between the average number of minutes spent exercising per day and math test scores and has collected the data shown in the table. The line of best fit for the data is yˆ=0.46x+66.4. Minutes 15,20,25,30 Test Score 73,76,78, 80 (a) According to the line of best fit, the predicted test score for someone who spent 23 minutes exercising is 76.98. (b) Is it reasonable to use this line of best fit to make the above prediction? Select the correct answer below: 1.The estimate, a predicted test score of 76.98, is reliable and reasonable. 2. The estimate, a predicted test score of 76.98, is unreliable but reasonable. 3. The estimate, a predicted test score of 76.98, is unreliable and unreasonable. 4. The estimate, a predicted test score of 76.98, is reliable but unreasonable.
The figure plots the number of manatee deaths by boat versus the number of boats registered to Florida and thousands. There is a clear straight line pattern with a modest amount of scatter. The correlation between these variables is R equals 0.94. What percentage of the observed variation among the manatee deaths by boats is explained by the straight line relationship between manatee deaths and number of boats registered?
The report, “The Older Population: 2010” also indicates that in 1900 approximately 4% of the U.S. population was made up of individuals who were 65 years or older, while in 2010 this same age group made up about 13% of the population. Write a complete sentence that describes the relative change in the percentage of people 65 years or older.
