- For the following exercises, consider this scenario: The population of a city increased steadily over a ten-year span. Thefollowing ordered pairs shows the population (in hundreds) and the year over the ten-year span, (population, year) forspecific recorded years: (4,500,2000);(4,700,2001);(5,200,2003);(5,800,2006) Use linear regression to determine a function y, where the year depends on the population. Round to threedecimal places of accuracy.arrow_forwardFor the following exercises, consider this scenario: The population of a city increased steadily over a ten-year span.

- For the following exercises, refer to Table 9. Use a graphing calculator to create a scatter diagram of the data.arrow_forwardFind the mean hourly cost when the cell phone described above is used for 240 minutes.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: 34,28,24,17,39,44,64,33,27,21,38,40,60,30,25,37,30,25,35,30 Sunday's Speeds: 18,27,34,37,49,55,63,61,48,30,27,17,17,15,26,46,25 1. Create a frequency table for each day. Make sure you look at both days when setting the intervals for your frequency table. Remember that you need to use common intervals for both days to tally the frequency. Wednesday's Frequency Table Speed Interval (mph) Sunday's Frequency Table Speed Interval (mph) Tally Tally Frequency Frequency 2. Create a histogram with appropriate labels for each day using the frequency tables you created in #1. 3. What do you notice about the two histograms? Consider the following questions: Are there any patterns in the speed distribution? Does one day look worse than the other?arrow_forward
