x 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50
y 17 24 31 33 37 37 40 40 42 41

use least-squares regression to fit

(a) A straight line,

(b) A power equation,

(c) A saturation-growth-rate equation, and

(d) A parabola.

Plot the data along with all the curves. Is any one of the curves superior? If so, justify.

As an industrial engineer, you intend to use linear trend (or linear regression) method to solve a forecasting problem. You have decided to use the equation of y = m(x) + c to establish the relationship between the sales (y) and the related month (x). It is known that 8 consecutive months data (Jan to Aug) were used and they resulted to the following parameter values of m = 320 and c = 1017. Using the regression technique, estimate the percentage of sales improvement from December this year to June next year.
Forest Fires and Acres Burned Numbers (in thousands) of forest fires over the year and the number (in hundred thousands) of acres burned for 6 recent years are shown. The regression line equation is y'=-18.779+0.761x. The standard error of the estimate is sest 9.55. Find the 80% interval when x=60. Round intermediate answers to three decimal places. Round your final answers to two decimal places as needed. Number of fires x 58 47 84 62 57 45 Number of acres burned y 19 26 51 15 30 15 Send data to Excel One can be 80% confident that the interval
The following data have the form of exponential function y = a*Exp(x), where Exp(x) denotes the exponential operation of x. Find the nearest regression equation. In the answer, 1.00e0.5x represents 1.00*e^0.5x = 1.00*Exp(0.5x) Y: 0.4, 1, 4, 36 X: 0.2, 2, 4, 8 y = 1.00e0.06x All solutions are not correct O y = 0.35e0.58x O y = 1.35e1.5x
