- Demand for Candy Bars In this problem you will determine a linear demand equation that describes the demand for candy bars in your class. Survey your classmates to determine what price they would be willing to pay for a candy bar. Your survey form might look like the sample to the left. a Make a table of the number of respondents who answered yes at each price level. b Make a scatter plot of your data. c Find and graph the regression line y=mp+b, which gives the number of respondents y who would buy a candy bar if the price were p cents. This is the demand equation. Why is the slope m negative? d What is the p-intercept of the demand equation? What does this intercept tell you about pricing candy bars? Would you buy a candy bar from the vending machine in the hallway if the price is as indicated. Price Yes or No 50 75 1.00 1.25 1.50 1.75 2.00arrow_forwardCan the average rate of change of a function be constant?arrow_forwardWhat is regression analysis?

- A recent 10-year study conducted by a research team at the Great Falls Medical School was conducted to assess how age, systolic blood pressure, and smoking relate to the risk of strokes. Assume that the following data are from a portion of this study. Risk is interpreted as the probability (times 100) that the patient will have a stroke over the next 10-year period. For the smoking variable, define a dummy variable with 1 indicating a smoker and 0 indicating a nonsmoker.
