- Demand for Soft Drinks A convenience store manager notices that sales of soft drink are higher on hotter days, so he assembles the data in the table. (a) Make a scatter plot of the data. (b) Find and graph a linear function that models the data. (c) Use the model to predict soft drink sales if the temperature is 95Farrow_forwardPrice of Amazons Kindle The following table shows the price of Amazons Kindle 2 e-book reader. It is adapted from data available on the web. Here time is measured in months since February 2009, when the Kindle was launched. Time Price 0 349 5 299 10 249 15 199 a. By calculating differences, show that these data can be modeled using a linear function. b. Find a linear formula that models these data. Be careful about the sign of the slope. c. What price does your formula from part b project for January 2012 35 months after the Kindle was launched? Note: The web data were the basis for speculation that some day the Kindle would be free.arrow_forwardDoes the following table represent a linear function ? If so, find the linear equation that models the data.arrow_forward
- Demand for Soft Drinks A convenience stores manager notices that sales of soft drinks are higher on hotter days, so he assembles the data in the table. a Make a scatter plot of the data. b Find and graph a linear function that models the data. c Use the model to predict soft drink sales if the temperature is 95. High temperature Number of cans sold 55 340 58 335 64 410 68 460 70 450 75 610 80 735 84 780arrow_forwardWhen Date Are Unevenly speed. If data are evenly spaced, we need only calculate differences to see whether the data are linear. But if data are not evenly spaced, then we must calculate the average rate of change over each interval to see whether the data are linear. If the average rate of change is constant, it is the slope of the linear function. This fact is used in Exercises 23 and 24. In the following table, show that the average rate of change from 2 to 5 is not the same as the average rate of change from 5 to 6. This shows that the data are not linear, even though the differences in y are constant. x 1 2 5 6 y 3 6 9 12arrow_forwardTuition at American Public Universities This is a continuation of Exercise 6. The following table shows the average yearly in-state tuition and required fees, in dollars, charged by four-year American public universities in the school year ending in the given year. Date Average tuition 2012 8318 2013 8595 2014 8872 2015 9149 2016 9426 a. Show that these data can be modeled by a linear function, and find its formula. b. What is the slope for the linear function modeling tuition and required fees for public universities? c. What is the slope of the linear function modeling tuition and required fees for private universities? Note: See Exercise 6. d. Explain what the information in parts b and c tells you about the rate of increase in tuition in public versus private institutions. e. Which type of institution shows the larger percentage increase from 2015 to 2016? 6. Tuition at American Private Universities The following table shows the average yearly tuition and required fees, in dollars, charged by four-year American private nonprofit universities in the school year ending in the given year. Date Average tuition 2012 27, 870 2013 29, 004 2014 30, 138 2015 31, 272 2016 32, 406 a. Show that these data can be modeled by a linear function, and find its formula. b. Plot the data points and add the graph of the linear formula you found in part a. c. What prediction does this formula give for average tuition and fees at four-year American private nonprofit universities for the academic year ending in 2021?arrow_forward
