Assume that in one country in 2005, 12.5% of the population was 65 or older. By 2050, this percent is expected to be 21.05%. The percent of the population ages 25-34 in 2005 was 13.9%. That age group is expected to include 13.1215% of the population in 2050. A.) Assuming these population changes are linear, use the data for the 65 or over age group to write a linear equation. Then do the same for the 25-34 age group. Let x=0represent 2005 and x=45 represent 2050. Express percents in decimal form. A1.) For the population of 65 or older the equation is y=________. A2.) For the population of 25-34 years the equation is y=________. B.) Solve the system of linear equations from part (a). In what year will the two age groups include the same percent of the population? What is that percent? B1.) The age groups include the same percent of population in the year_______. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest year as needed.) B2.) The percent…
Please help me better understand this problem. Researchers want to determine if heavier cars use more gasoline? To answer this question, a researcher randomly selected 15 cars. He collected their weight (in hundreds of pounds) and the mileage (MPG) for each car. From a scatterplot made with the data, a linear model seemed appropriate and the following output was obtained in photo below. Question: Determine the proportion of the variation in mileage is accounted for by the linear relationship with the weight of the car and also determine the estimate of the regression standard deviation.
A study of king penguins looked for a relationship between how deep the penguins dive to seek food and how long they stay underwater. For all but the shallowest dives, there is a linear relationship that is different for different penguins. The study report gives a scatterplot for one penguin titled, “The relation of dive duration (DD) to depth (D).” Duration DD is measured in minutes, and depth D is in meters. The report then says, “The regression equation for this bird is DD=2.69+0.0138D. (a) What is the slope of the regression line? (Enter your answer rounded to four decimal places.) slope = (b) On average, if the depth of the dive increases by one meter, what is the increase in the diving duration? (Enter your answer rounded to four decimal places.) increase in duration = minutes (c) According to the regression line, how long does a typical dive to a depth of 168 meters last? (Enter your answer rounded to three decimal places.) length…

biologist was recording various temperatures (in degrees Celsius) and predicting the amount of glucose produced by a plant (in milligrams). Suppose the linear equation was the following: ?̂ = 12.7 − 0.223? a) Interpret the slope of the regression line.
Using a sample of recent university graduates, you estimate a simple linear regression using initial annual salary as the dependent variable and the graduate's weighted average mark (WAM) as the explanatory variable. If the regression model has an estimated intercept of 3200 and an estimated slope coefficient of 550, what is the predicted starting salary of a student with a WAM of 64?
A botanist found a correlation between the length of an aspen leaf and its surface area to be 0.94. Why does thecorrelation value of 0.94 not necessarily indicate that a linear model is the most appropriate model for therelationship between length of an aspen leaf and its surface area? (A) The value must be exactly 1 or to indicate a linear model is the most appropriate model. (B) The value must be 0 to indicate a linear model is the most appropriate model. (C) A causal relationship should be established first before determining the most appropriate model. (D) The value of 0.94 implies that only 88% of the data have a linear relationship. (E) Even with a correlation value of 0.94, it is possible that the relationship could still be better represented by a nonlinear model.
The National Football League (NFL) records a variety of performance data for individuals and teams. To investigate the importance of passing on the percentage of games won by a team, the folloving data show the average number of passing yards per attempt (Yds/Att) and the percentage of games won (WinPct) for a random sample of 10 NFL teams for the 2011 season (NFL vwebsite).

A linear regression model is designed to predict service charges by a bank (in dollars per month) based on sales revenues of 26 companies who use the services (in millions of dollars). Partial output from Excel gives ŷ = -5428 + 32.756x,, with SSE = 117600, and the p-value = 0.04022 for the estimated slope. Interpret the standard error of the estimate. A B E Approximately 95% of the observed service charges fall within $117600 of the least squares line None of the suggested answers are correct For every $1 million increase in sales revenue, we expect a service charge to increase by $117600 Approximately 96% of the observed service charges fall within $140 of the least squares line. Approximately 95% of the observed service charges equal their corresponding predicted values

Researchers at a large nutrition and weight management company are trying to build a model to predict a person’s body fat percentage from an array of variables. A variables selection method is used to build a regression model. SAS output for the final model is given in photo. Question: What percentage of the variation in percent body fat remains unexplained, even after introducing weight and abdomen circumference into the model, and then also determine the interpretation of the slope for weight?
why the correct answer is letter b?
