Cell Phones Using the CTIA Wireless Survey for1985–2009, the number of U.S. cell phone subscribers (in millions) can be modeled byy = 0.632x2 - 2.651x + 1.209where x is the number of years after 1985.a. Graphically find when the number of U.S.subscribers was 301,617,000.b. When does the model estimate that the number ofU.S. subscribers would reach 359,515,000?c. What does the answer to (b) tell about this model?

Table gives data on gold prices, the Consumer Price Index (CPI), and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) Index for the United States for the period 1974 –2006. The NYSE Index includes most of the stocks listed on the NYSE, some 1500-plus. a. Plot in the same scattergram gold prices, CPI, and the NYSE Index. b. An investment is supposed to be a hedge against inflation if its price and /or rate of return at least keeps pace with inflation. To test this hypothesis, suppose you decide to fit the following model, assuming the scatterplot in (a) suggests that this is appropriate: Gold pricet = β1 + β2 CPIt + ut NYSE indext = β1 + β2 CPIt + ut Note that if beta2 = 1 the response exactly grows with CPI Thank you!arrow_forward

Your section concerns the effect of wildfires on natural areas. Your supervisor asked you to analyze the temporal trend in wildfires. In particular, she is interested in the following associations:1. Has the number of wildfires per year increased?2. Has the total burned area (in acre) per year increased?3. Has the burned area (in acre) per fire increased?The accompanied data file contains the number of wildfires, total burned area, and burned area per fire in the U.S. from 2000 to 2019. Question 1. Using Excel, create three scatter plots which show each association (year and number of wildfires, year and total burned area, and year and burned area per fire). Clearly label the graphs. Note that year should be on the x-axis. Attach the scatterplot to this report. Refer to the textbook 12.2. (15 pts.) Question 2. Using the scatter plots created in Question 1, perform a visual assessments.…arrow_forwardThe table shows the times it takes a certain model of car to accelerate from 0 mph to speeds of 30 mph, 40 mph, etc., up to 90 mph, in increments of 10 mph.
