Explanation of Solution
It is given in the question that since clean air regulations have dictated the use of unleaded gasoline the supply of leaded gas in New York State has diminished. The table is given on the August New York State Math B exam, a state wide achievement test for high school students. Thus, for constructing a linear model we will use Excel as we will first select the data in Excel and then go to the insert tab from where we will select the
Thus, the regression line is as:

Explanation of Solution
It is given in the question that since clean air regulations have dictated the use of unleaded gasoline the supply of leaded gas in New York State has diminished. The table is given on the August New York State Math B exam, a state wide achievement test for high school students. And the regression line is:
Since the exam asked the students to estimate the year when leaked gasoline will first become unavailable, expecting them to use the model from part (a) to answer the question so, we cannot use that model in part (a) because the model predicts gallons from year not the other way around.
(c)
To create a model that would be appropriate for that task and make the estimate.

The model is
Explanation of Solution
It is given in the question that since clean air regulations have dictated the use of unleaded gasoline the supply of leaded gas in New York State has diminished. The table is given on the August New York State Math B exam, a state wide achievement test for high school students. And the regression line is:
Thus, the model to predict the year from the gallons can be created by using Excel as we will first select the data in Excel and then go to the insert tab from where we will select the scatterplot option in the charts and when the scatterplot is constructed we will go to the design tab under the chart tools, from where we will select the quick layout option and select the layout with the equation option then the linear model is constructed in the scatterplot as:
Thus, the linear model is as:
(d)
To explain why the wrong answer from the other model is fairly accurate in this case.
(d)
Explanation of Solution
It is given in the question that since clean air regulations have dictated the use of unleaded gasoline the supply of leaded gas in New York State has diminished. The table is given on the August New York State Math B exam, a state wide achievement test for high school students. Thus, the wrong answer from the other model is fairly accurate in this case because if we solve for the value it will be close but the model cannot predict changes.

Ella is a 9-year-old third-grade student in an inclusive classroom. She has been diagnosed with Emotional and Behavioural Disorder (EBD). She has been struggling academically and socially due to challenges related to self-regulation, impulsivity, and emotional outbursts. Ella's behaviour includes frequent tantrums, defiance toward authority figures, and difficulty forming positive relationships with peers. Despite her challenges, Ella shows an interest in art and creative activities and demonstrates strong verbal skills when calm. Describe 2 strategies that could be implemented that could help Ella regulate her emotions in class (4 marks) Explain 2 strategies that could improve Ella’s social skills (4 marks) Identify 2 accommodations that could be implemented to support Ella academic progress and provide a rationale for your recommendation.(6 marks) Provide a detailed explanation of 2 ways…arrow_forward

Fill the Table: Fill the following table showing his end-of-year salary for each year. I have already provided the end-of-year salaries for the first three years. Calculate the end-of-year salaries for the remaining years using Excel. (If you Excel answer for the top 3 cells is not the same as the one in the following table, your formula / approach is incorrect) (2 points) Geometric Mean of Salary Raises: Calculate the geometric mean of the salary raises using the percentage figures provided in the second column named “% Raise”. (The geometric mean for this calculation should be nearly identical to the arithmetic mean. If your answer deviates significantly from the mean, it's likely incorrect. 2 points) Starting salary % Raise Raise Salary after raise 75000 10% 7500 82500 82500 4% 3300…arrow_forwardI need help with this problem and an explanation of the solution for the image described below.
