a) A medical researcher is interested in exploring the effects of a new medicine on blood pressure 500 males with high blood pressure are randomly selected and given the new drug. After two weeks, their blood pressure is measured and the average arterial pressure is calculated. b) A study is conducted to determine whether or not the dangerous activity of texting while drivin is a common practice. 1500 16- to 24-year-olds are randomly selected and asked whether or no they text while driving. Of the 1500 drivers, 12% indicate they text while driving.

Urban Travel Times Population of cities and driving times are related, as shown in the accompanying table, which shows the 1960 population N, in thousands, for several cities, together with the average time T, in minutes, sent by residents driving to work. City Population N Driving time T Los Angeles 6489 16.8 Pittsburgh 1804 12.6 Washington 1808 14.3 Hutchinson 38 6.1 Nashville 347 10.8 Tallahassee 48 7.3 An analysis of these data, along with data from 17 other cities in the United States and Canada, led to a power model of average driving time as a function of population. a Construct a power model of driving time in minutes as a function of population measured in thousands b Is average driving time in Pittsburgh more or less than would be expected from its population? c If you wish to move to a smaller city to reduce your average driving time to work by 25, how much smaller should the city be?

An agent for a property management company would like to be able to predict the monthly rental cost for apartments based on the size of the apartment as defined by square footage. A sample of the rent of 25 apartments in a college rental neighborhood was selected, and the information collected revealed the following: Apartment Size (Sq. Ft.) Monthly Rent ($) 1 850 950 2 1,450 1,600 3 1,085 1,200 4 1,232 1,500 5 718 950 6 1,485 1,700 7 1,136 1,650 8 726 935 9 700 875 10 956 1,150 11 1,100 1,400 12 1,285 1,650 13 1,985 2,300 14 1,369 1,800 15 1,175 1,400 16 1,225 1,450 17 1,245 1,100 18 1,259 1,700 19 1,150 1,200 20 896 1,150 21 1,361 1,600 22 1,040 1,650 23 755 1,200 24 1,000 800 25 1,200 1,750 e) Determine the coefficient of determination r2 and then completely interpret…
