Noise and Intelligibility Audiologists study the intelligibility of spoken sentences under different noise levels. Intelligibility, the MRT score, is measured as the percent of a spoken sentence that the listener can decipher at a cesl4ain noise level in decibels (dB). The table shows the results of one such test. (a) Make a scatter plot of the data. (b) Find and graph the regression line. (c) Find the correlation coefficient. Is a linear model appropriate? (d) Use the linear model in put (b) to estimate the intelligibility of a sentence at a 94-dB noise level.
Zipfs Law The following table shows U.S cities by rank in terms of population and population in thousands. City Rank r Population N New York 1 8491 Chicago 3 2722 Philadelphia 5 1560 Dallas 9 1280 Austin 11 913 San Francisco 13 852 Columbus 15 836 A rule known as Zipfs law tells us that it is reasonable to approximate these data with a power function. a Use power regression to express the population as a function of the rank. b Plot the data along with the power function from part a. c Phoenix is the sixth largest city in the United States. Use your answer from part a to estimate population of Phoenix. Round your answer in thousands to the nearest whole number. Note: The actual population is 1537 thousand.
