Licensed drivers. Table 9 contains the state population and the number of licensed drivers in the state (both in millions) for the most populous states in 2014. The regression model for this data is
where
(A) Draw a
(B) If the population of Michigan in 2014 was about 9.9 million, use the model to estimate
the number of licensed drivers in Michigan in 2014 to the nearest thousand.
(C) If the number of licensed drivers in Georgia in 2014 was about 6.7 million, use the model
to estimate the population of Georgia in 2014 to the nearest thousand.

Let x represent the year, with x=8 corresponding to 2008. (b) Use the linear regression capabilities of a graphing utility to find a linear model for the data. How does this model compare with the model obtained in part a? (c) Use the linear model to create a table of estimated values for y. Compare the estimated values with the actual data.arrow_forwardA) Find the equation of the regression line. Y= B)Construct a scatter plot of the data and draw the regression line. (c) Construct a residual plot. (d) Determine if there are any patterns in the residual plot and explain what they suggest about the relationship between the variables. Consider the graph from part (c). If it shows any type of pattern, the regression line is not a good representation of the relationship between the two variables. If it does not show a pattern, that is, the residuals fluctuate about 0, then the regression line is a good representation.arrow_forwardThe managing director of a consulting group has the accompanying monthly data on total overhead costs and professional labor hours to bill to clients.
