A movie studio wishes to determine the relationship between the revenue generated from the streaming of comedies and the revenue generated from the
theatrical release of such movies. The studio has the following bivariate data from a sample of fifteen comedies released over the past five years. These data
give the revenue x from theatrical release (in millions of dollars) and the revenue y from streaming (in millions of dollars) for each of the fifteen movies. The
data are displayed in the Figure 1 scatter plot.

- 2arrow_forwardAn engineer is designing a pipeline which is supposed to connect two points P and S. The engineer decides to do it in three sections. The first section runs from point P to point Q, and costs $48 per mile to lay, the second section runs from point Q to point R and costs $54 per mile, the third runs from point R to point S and costs $44 per mile. Looking at the diagram below, you see that if you know the lengths marked x and y, then you know the positions of Q and R. Find the values of x and y which minimize the cost of the pipeline.
