Urban population density An urban density model is a for- mula that relates the population density D (in thousands/ mi?) to the distance x (in miles) from the center of the city. The formula D = ae-bx for the central density a and coeffi- cient of decay b has been found to be appropriate for many large U.S. cities. For the city of Atlanta in 1970, a = 5.5 and b = 0.10. At approximately what distance was the population density 2000 per square mile?

A group of researchers studied the effect of acid rain on wildlife and collected n = 12 samples from streams in different States. They recorded the pH (X) of the water (i.e. units above pH 7), and the BCI, a measure of biological diversity (Y). The data obtained is summarized below. DATA: Observation 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 pH above 7 (X) 0.67 0.70 0.93 0.95 1.09 1.01 1.29 1.24 1.41 1.56 1.73 1.80 Units of BCI (Y) 14.4 20.9 16.2 25.0 18.9 19.8 20.7 22.1 23.9 24.9 27.6 29.7 Find the correlation coefficient between pH and BCI (round to the nearest hundredth; place your answer in the box below)
