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.

Use cubic regression to model these data. Round the regression parameters to four decimal places. b. Plot the data along with the cubic model. c. In the analysis mentioned above, the graph is expanded through 2020. Expand the viewing window to show the model from 1990 to 2020. d. What estimate does the model give for oil prices in 2015? e. The actual price of oil in December of 2015 was about 35 per barrel. What basic principle in the use of models would be violated in relying on the estimate in part d?arrow_forward
