- If your graphing calculator is capable of computing a least-squares sinusoidal regression model, use it to find a second model for the data. Graph this new equation along with your first model. How do they compare?arrow_forwardDoes Table 2 represent a linear function? If so, finda linear equation that models the data.arrow_forwardIf you travel 100 miles in two hours, then your average speed for the trip is Average speed=_________=________arrow_forward

The company data analytics department have collected data about the two variables (Productivity and Absenteeism) for the 12 past years as shown in the table below. Now the purpose of the company is to determine, through regression analysis, whether the productivity is statistically affected by the absenteeism level or not.

- The time interval between a person's initial infection with HIV and that person's eventual development of AIDS symptoms is an important issue. The method of infection with HIV affects the time interval before AIDS develops. One study of HIV patients who were infected by intravenous drug use found that 17% of the patients had AIDS after 4 years, and 54% had developed the disease after 11 years. The relationship between the time interval and the percentage of patients with AIDS can be modeled accurately with a linear equation. a. Write a linear equation y=mt + b that models these data, using the ordered pairs (4,0.17) and (11,0.54). b. Use your equation from part a to predict the number of years before three quarters of these patients will have AIDS. a. The linear equation is. (Simplify your answer. Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the equation. Round to four decimal places as needed.)

You are tasked to develop a model using the appropriate variables. The following variables are utilized: X1 = total overall reported crime rate per 100,000 residents X2 = reported violent crime rate per 100,000 residents X3 = % of people 25 years+ with 4 yrs. of high school X4 = % of 16 to 19-year-olds not in high school and not high school graduates. X5 = % of 18 to 24-year-olds in college X6 = % of people 25 years+ with at least 4 years of college X1 X2 X3 X4 X5 X6 478 184 74 11 31 20 494 213 72 11 43 18 643 347 70 18 16 16 341 565 71 11 25 19 773 327 72 9 29 24 603 260 68 8 32 15 484 325 68 12 24 14 546 102 62 13 28 11 424 38 69 7 25 12 548 226 66 9 58 15 506 137…arrow_forwardThe Minister of National Security in Trinidad and Tobago is interested in determining the factors that influence the number of crimes that are reported.
