Ypsilanti Market Research conducted a survey to find out whether people who earn more money purchase more expensive goods. The following graph indicates the relationship between income the survey subjects earned and the price of the car that they purchased.
The variable shown on the vertical axis is __________ (options: thousands of dollars per car, thousands of dollars per year, income, thousands of dollars, price, number of goods).
The units for the variable on the horizontal axis are _________ (options: thousands of dollars per car, thousands of dollars per year, income, thousands of dollars, price, number of goods).
There are two ways to view the information presented on the graph. First, the graph tells us the amount a person with a certain income is likely to spend on a car, and second, it tells us the probable income of a person who spent a certain amount on a car. For example, if an individual earned $50,000 last year and purchased a new car, you would expect that person to…

In 2005, the percentage of the world's population living in extreme poverty was 20.70% and in 2011, the percentage of the world's population living in extreme poverty was 13.70%. Determine a linear equation that models the world's population in extreme poverty, in percentage, as a function of years since 2005. What is the slope of this function, and what does it tell you in practical terms? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth (0.01). Om = -7.00. The world's population in extreme poverty decreased by 7 percent per year between the years 2005 and 2011. Om = 7.00.

Solve the following problem by using Excel for graph sketching. A soda vendor at Louisiana State University football games observes that more sodas are sold the warmer the temperature at game time is. Based on 32 home games covering five years, the vendor estimates the relationship between soda sales and temperature to be y = -240 + 8x, where y = the number of sodas she sells and .x = temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, (a) Interpret the estimated slope and intercept. Do the estimates make sense? Why, or why not? (b) On a day when the temperature at game time is forecast to be 80°F, predict how many sodas the vendor will sell.
