- Does Table 2 represent a linear function? If so, finda linear equation that models the data.arrow_forwardAlligators The length in inches and weight in pounds of 25 alligators is shown in the table. Find the quadratic function that best fits the data. Round a,b, and c to six decimal places. Use the regression function to estimate the weight of an alligator that is 130 inches long. Round the weight to the nearest pound.

- Company X hired a consultant to determine a sales growth function. The consultant gathered past monthly sales data and came up with the following regression equation: Y = 0.5x + 18. Where Y is the sales level in millions and X is the nth data point. Use the equation to estimate sales for the coming month which will be the 22nd data point (ie. Point 22 on the x – axis if represented on a chart with y being sales). a. 11 million b. 18 million c. 22 million d. 29 millionarrow_forwardYou are the owner of Fast Break, a popular local place that sells drinks, snacks, and sandwiches. For inventory management purposes, you are examining how the weather affects the amount of hot chocolate sold in a day. You are going to gather a random sample of 7 days showing that day's high temperature (denoted by x, in °C) and the amount of hot chocolate sold that day (denoted by y, in liters). You will also note the product x.y of the temperature and amount of hot chocolate sold for each day. (These products are written in the row labeled "xy").
