Suppose that you drive 40,000 miles per year and gas averages $4 per gallon.
a. What will you save annual fuel expenses by owning a hybrid car averaging 40 miles per gallon rather than SUV averaging 16 miles per gallon?
b. If you deposit your monthly fuel savings await the end of each month into an annuity that pays 5.2% compounded monthly, how much will you have saved at end of six years?

A sociologist hypothesizes that the crime rate is higher in areas with higher poverty rate and lower median income. She col- lects data on the crime rate (crimes per 100,000 residents), the poverty rate (in %), and the median income (in $1,000s) from 41 New England cities. A portion of the regression results is shown in the following table.
