- Use this data for the exercises that follow: In 2013, there were roughly 317 million citizens in the United States, and about 40 million were elderly (aged 65 and over).[34] 60. It is predicted that by 2030, one in five U.S. citizens will be elderly. How much greater will the chances of meeting an elderly person be at that time? What policy changes do you foresee if these statistics hold true?arrow_forwardThe Seneca Children’s Fund (SCF) is a local charity that runs a summer camp for disadvantaged children. The fund’s board of directors has been working very hard over recent years to decrease the amount of overhead expenses, a major factor in how charities are rated by independent agencies. The following data show the percentage of the money SCF has raised that was spent on administrative and fund-raising expenses over the past seven years: Year Period (t) Expense (%) 2003 1 13.9 2004 2 12.2 2005 3 10.5 2006 4 10.4 2007 5 11.5 2008 6 10.0 2009 7 8.5 a. Construct a time series plot. What type of pattern exists in the data?b. Use simple linear regression analysis to find the parameters for the line that minimizes MSE for this time series.c. Forecast the percentage of administrative expenses for year 8.d. If SCF can maintain its current trend in reducing administrative expenses, how long will it take for SCF to achieve a level of 5% or less?arrow_forwardIn 2011 home prices and mortgage rates dropped so low that in a number of cities the monthly cost of owning a home was less expensive than renting. The following data show the average asking rent for 10 markets and the monthly mortgage on the median priced home (including taxes and insurance) for 10 cities where the average monthly mortgage payment was less than the average asking rent (The Wall Street Journal, November 26–27, 2011).Click on the datafile logo to reference the data. Enter negative values as negative numbers. a. Develop the estimated regression equation that can be used to predict the monthly mortgage given the average asking rent (to 2 decimals).The regression equation is:Mortgage ($) = + Rent ($)arrow_forward
