- Enter the data from Table 2 into a graphing calculator and graph the ranking scatter plot. Determine whetherthe data from the table would likely represent a function that is linear, exponential, or logarithmic.arrow_forwardExplain why the values of an increasing exponentialfunction will eventually overtake the valuesof anincreasing linear function.arrow_forwardAn engineer creates a model to predict the electric consumption of a household in summer in a day with a predictor variable of the number of hours the air- conditioner is running. The electric consumption is only at 26 kWh per day if aircon is not used. If the aircon was used by 1 hr, the electric consumption would increase by an additional 1.14 kWh. Find the average electric consumption if the aircon is used 19 hrs. NOTE: Express your answer with 2 decimal places. Do not put any units/letters.arrow_forward
- Bacteria growth was measured over a one-month period. Scatterplot A displays the number of cells measured over the recorded number of days. Two transformations of the data are shown in the next two graphs. Scatterplot B displays the relationship between the number of days and the natural log of the number of cells of bacteria. Scatterplot C displays the relationship between the natural log of the number of days and the natural log of the number of cells of bacteria. Which model best represents the relationship between the number of days and the number of cells of bacteria? A linear model would best represent the relationship because scatterplot A is fairly linear. An exponential model would best represent the relationship because scatterplot B is fairly linear. A linear model would best represent the relationship because scatterplot B is fairly linear. A power model would best represent the relationship because scatterplot C is fairly linear.arrow_forward(c) Th Data Table Total Length (cm) 138.0 135.0 130.0 120.5 149.0 141.0 141.0 150.0 166.0 151.5 129.5 150.0 Print Weight (kg) 110 60 90 60 85 105 95 85 155 140 105 110 Done 0 X Critical Values for the Correlation Coefficient 3 0.997 4 0.950 5 0.878 6 0.811 7 0.754 8 0.707 9 0.666 10 0.632 11 0.602 12 0.576 13 0.553 14 0.532 15 0.514 16 0.497 17 0.482 18 0.468 19 0.456 20 0.444 21 0.433 22 0.423 23 0.413 24 0.404 25 0.396 26 0.388 27 0.381 0371 X not practical to v parts (a) througharrow_forwardan you tell how old a lobster is by its size? This question was investigated by the authors of a paper that appeared in the Biological Bulletin (August 2007). Researchers measured carapace (the exterior shell) length of 27 laboratory-raised lobsters of known age. The data on x = carapace length (in mm) and y = age (in years) in the following table were read from a graph that appeared in the paper. Age CarapaceLength Age CarapaceLength Age CarapaceLength 1.00 63.32 1.82 118.25 2.93 147.82 1.00 67.50 2.18 108.24 2.92 140.17 1.00 69.58 2.18 109.64 2.92 135.73 1.00 74.41 2.17 117.99 2.92 121.81 1.42 80.32 2.17 123.81 3.17 141.30 1.42 81.80 2.33 138.47 3.41 151.73 1.42 84.59 2.50 133.95 3.42 145.78 1.82 105.07 2.51 124.25 3.75 147.21 1.82 106.16 2.50 123.51 4.08 152.04 (a) Construct a scatterplot of these data, and then find the equation of the least squares regression line that describes the relationship between y = age and x = carapace length.

- Answer the following questionsarrow_forwardSuppose you are performing a logistic regression analysis in which you are testing whether blood pressure predicts resting heart attack (a dummy variable 0 = no heart attack, 1 = heart attack). You derive the following equation from this analysis: Y = 2.5x + 10. Explain how you would interpret the slope (odds ratio) and the intercept from this equation.arrow_forwardWorld Military Expenditure The following chart shows total military and arms trade expenditure from 2011–2020 (t = 1 represents 2011). †A bar graph titled "World military expenditure" has a horizontal t-axis labeled "Year since 2010" and a vertical axis labeled "$ (billions)". The bar graph has 10 bars. Each bar is associated with a label and an approximate value as listed below. 1: 1,800 billion dollars 2: 1,775 billion dollars 3: 1,750 billion dollars 4: 1,730 billion dollars 5: 1,760 billion dollars 6: 1,760 billion dollars 7: 1,850 billion dollars 8: 1,900 billion dollars 9: 1,950 billion dollars 10: 1,980 billion dollars (a) If you want to model the expenditure figures with a function of the form f(t) = at2 + bt + c, would you expect the coefficient a to be positive or negative? Why? HINT [See "Features of a Parabola" in this section.] We would expect the coefficient to be positive because the curve is concave up. We would expect the coefficient to be negative because the…arrow_forward
- 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_forwardUse Excel to develop a regression model for the Consumer Food Database (using the “Excel Databases.xls” file on Blackboard) to predict Annual Food Spending by Annual Household Income for those living in the Metro area only.
