- For the following exercises, consider this scenario: The profit of a company decreased steadily overa ten-year spam.The following ordered pairs shows dollars and the number of units sold in hundreds and the profit in thousands ofover the ten-year span, (number of units sold, profit) for specific recorded years: (46,600),(48,550),(50,505),(52,540),(54,495). Use linear regression to determine a function Pwhere the profit in thousands of dollars depends onthe number of units sold in hundreds.arrow_forwardFind the equation of the regression line for the following data set. x 1 2 3 y 0 3 4arrow_forwardXYZ Corporation Stock Prices The following table shows the average stock price, in dollars, of XYZ Corporation in the given month. Month Stock price January 2011 43.71 February 2011 44.22 March 2011 44.44 April 2011 45.17 May 2011 45.97 a. Find the equation of the regression line. Round the regression coefficients to three decimal places. b. Plot the data points and the regression line. c. Explain in practical terms the meaning of the slope of the regression line. d. Based on the trend of the regression line, what do you predict the stock price to be in January 2012? January 2013?arrow_forward
- For the following exercises, consider this scenario: The population of a city increased steadily over a ten-year span.The following ordered pairs show the population and the year over the ten-year span (population, year) for specific recorded years: (3,600,2000);(4,000,2001);(4,700,2003);(6,000,2006) 42. Use linear regression to determine a function y,where the year depends on the population, to threedecimal places of accuracy.arrow_forwardSpecial Rounding Instructions For this exercise set, round all regression parameters to three decimal places, but round all other answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. Postal RatesThe table below shows the cost s, in cents, of a domestic first-class postage stamp in the United States tyears after 1900. t=time,inyearssince1900 s=costofstamp 19 2 32 3 58 4 71 8 78 15 85 22 95 32 102 37 109 44 116 47 a.Use exponential regression to model s as an exponential function of t. b.What cost does your model give for a 1988 stamp? Report your answer to the nearest cent. The actual cost was 25cents. c.Plot the data and the exponential model.arrow_forwardFor the following exercises, consider the data in Table 5, which shows the percent of unemployed in a city of people 25 years or older who are college graduates is given below, by year. 38. Determine whether the trend appears to be linear.If so, and assuming the trend continues, find alinear regression model to predict the percent of unemployed in a given year to three decimal places.arrow_forward
