Chapter P, Problem 52RE
Median Income The data in the table show the median income y (in thousands of dollars) for males of various ages x in the United States in 2009. (Source: U.S. Census Bureau)
x | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 | 70 |
y | 10.0 | 31.9 | 42.2 | 44.7 | 41.3 | 25.9 |
(a) Use the regression capabilities of a graphing utility to find a quadratic model for the data.
(b) Use a graphing utility to plot the data and graph the model.
(c) Use the model to approximate the median income for a male who is 26 years old.
(d) Use the model to approximate the median income for a male who is 34 years old.
