- What does the y -intercept on the graph of a logistic equation correspond to for a population modeled by that equation?arrow_forwardLife Expectancy The following table shows the average life expectancy, in years, of a child born in the given year42 Life expectancy 2005 77.6 2007 78.1 2009 78.5 2011 78.7 2013 78.8 a. Find the equation of the regression line, and explain the meaning of its slope. b. Plot the data points and the regression line. c. Explain in practical terms the meaning of the slope of the regression line. d. Based on the trend of the regression line, what do you predict as the life expectancy of a child born in 2019? e. Based on the trend of the regression line, what do you predict as the life expectancy of a child born in 1580?2300arrow_forwardPlanetary Velocity The following table gives the mean velocity of planets in their orbits versus their mean distance from the sun. Note that 1AU astronomical unit is the mean distance from Earth to the sun, abut 93 million miles. Planet d=distance AU v=velocity km/sec Mercury 0.39 47.4 Venus 0.72 35.0 Earth 1.00 29.8 Mars 1.52 24.1 Jupiter 5.20 13.1 Saturn 9.58 9.7 Uranus 19.20 6.8 Neptune 30.05 5.4 Astronomers tell us that it is reasonable to model these data with a power function. a Use power regression to express velocity as a power function of distance from the sun. b Plot the data along with the regression equation. c An asteroid orbits at a mean distance of 3AU from the sun. According to the power model you found in part a, what is the mean orbital velocity of the asteroid?arrow_forward
