- Cable TV The following table shows the number C. in millions, of basic subscribers to cable TV in the indicated year These data are from the Statistical Abstract of the United States. Year 1975 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 C 9.8 17.5 35.4 50.5 60.6 60.6 a. Use regression to find a logistic model for these data. b. By what annual percentage would you expect the number of cable subscribers to grow in the absence of limiting factors? c. The estimated number of subscribers in 2005 was 65.3million. What light does this shed on the model you found in part a?arrow_forwardMathematical Models In Exercises 9 and 10, (a) plot the actual data and the model of the same graph and (b) describe how closely the model represents the data. If the model does not closely represent the data, suggest another type of model that may be a better fit. The ordered pairs below give the revenues y (in billions of dollars) for Activision Blizzard, Inc., from 2008 through 2014. 2008,3.032012,4.862009,4.282013,4.582010,4.452014,4.412011,4.76 A model for the data is y=0.184t+2.32,8t14, where t represents the year, with t=8 corresponding to 2008.arrow_forwardLife Expectancy The average life expectancy in the United States has been rising steadily over the past few decades, as shown in the table. (a) Make a scatter plot of the data. (b) Find and graph the regression line. (c) Use the linear model you found in part (b) to predict the life expectancy in the year 2006.

Use regression to find a logistic model for world population. b. What r value do these data yield for humans on planet Earth? c. According to the logistic model using these data, what is the carrying capacity of planet Earth for humans? d. According to this model, when will world population reach 90 of carrying capacity? Round to the nearest year. Note: This represents a rather naive analysis of world population.arrow_forwardMathematical Models In Exercises 9 and 10, (a) plot the actual data and the model of the same graph and (b) describe how closely the model represents the data. If the model does not closely represent the data, suggest another type of model that may be a better fit. The ordered pairs below give the civilian non-institutional U.S. populations y (in millions of people) 16 years of age and over not in the civilian labor force from 2006 through 2014. 2006,77.42011,86.02007,78.72012,88.32008,79.52013,90.32009,81.72014,92.02010,83.9 A model for the data is y=1.92t+65.0,6t14, where t represents the years, with t=6 corresponding to 2006.arrow_forward
