- For the following exercises, refer to Table 9. Use a graphing calculator to create a scatter diagram of the data.arrow_forwardDVD Player sales The table shows the number of DVD play-ers sold in a small electronics store in the years 2003-2013. What was the average rate of change of sales between 2003 and 2013? Whatwas the average rate of change of sales between 2003 and 2004? What was the average rate of change of sales between 2004 and 2005? Between which two successive years did DVD player sales increase most quickly?arrow_forwardHeart Disease In a certain country, the number of deaths due to heart disease decreased from 235 in one year to 221 in the next year. What percentage decrease in deaths due to heart disease does this represent?arrow_forward
- Table 6 shows the year and the number ofpeople unemployed in a particular city for several years. Determine whether the trend appears linear. If so, and assuming the trend continues, in what year will the number of unemployed reach 5 people?arrow_forwardSarah was calculating the speeds (mph) of vehicles travelling down Maple Street on two separate days at 9 am for an hour. Below is the data she collected. Wednesday's Speeds: Sunday's Speeds: 34,28,24,17,39,44,64,33,27,21,38,40,60,30,25,37,30,25,35,30 18,27,34,37,49.55,63,61,48,30,27,17,17,15,26,46,25 4) Find the Standard Deviation of each day.

Based on your analysis of the data and standard deviations, which day would you say is the most dangerous day on Maple Street?arrow_forwardUse excel in this question: The Motion Picture Distributors Association of Australia collects yearly data on gross box office takings of the films in Australia. Data is provided here for the years 1990-2004. (Unfortunately more recent data is not readily available.) Is the highest box office takings for a film related to the number of films screened in Australia that year?

The predicted number is [Select] i than the actual value by [ Select] Registrations (in millions)arrow_forwardIn a recent survey, ice cream truck drivers in Cincinnati, Ohio, reported they make about $280 in income on a typical summer day. The income was generally higher on days with longer work hours, particularly hot day, and on holidays. The IceCream data file includes five weeks of the driver's daily income (Income), number of hours on the road (Hours), whether it was a particularly hot day (Hot = 1 if the high temperature was above 85-degrees F, 0 otherwise), and whether it was a Holiday (Holiday = 1, 0 otherwise). 1. Predict the income of a driver working 8 hours on a hot holiday. (Round to the nearest dollar.) 2. Predict the income of a driver working 8 hours on a hot day if it was not a holiday. (Round to the nearest dollar.)arrow_forwardUtilizing the previous table: A sample of 25 cities have been classified as high or low on their homicide rates and the number of handguns sold within the city limits. How would you classify the strength of the relationship?arrow_forward
- a-d pleasearrow_forwardWalter is a sales manager for a chain of car dealerships. He encourages the managers at each store to spend as much time on the sales floor as they can. He is curious if this has any effect on the number of cars sold. Each manager reports the number of hours per day he or she spends on the sales floor. From this, Walter creates the scatterplot below showing sales and time on the floor. What information can Walter infer from the scatterplot? Select all that apply. 10 9 8 1 1 3 4 7 Average Hours on Sales Floor O There is a positive correlation between hours on the sales floor and sales. O There is no correlation between hours on the sales floor and sales. O There is a negative correlation between hours on the sales floor and sales. O Walter should require all managers to spend more hours on the sales floor. O Walter should make no changes to policies regarding hours on the sales floor for managers. O Walter should help managers who spend little time on the sales floor find ways to spend…arrow_forwardsolve the questions given in the image completely.arrow_forward
